Artist, American, born 1934

The image shows a close-up, side view of a person's torso and partial leg, taken in black and white. The person is lying on their side, with the curve of the hip prominently featured. The image does not show the head or facial features, and the rest of the body is not visible except for the upper portion of the thigh and part of an arm. The person’s skin texture is clearly visible, accentuated by the monochrome palette. The background is a soft surface, likely a bed, covered with slightly wrinkled fabric.
