Artist, American, born 1934

The image shows the upper half of a young person's body in profile, facing to the right. Their head is slightly turned, looking away from the camera. The person has medium-length, wavy hair that falls naturally around their face. The lighting and shadows add depth to their facial features, although specific details of their face are not very visible due to the angle and lighting. They are wearing a plain sweater with a rounded neckline. In the background, there is a grassy field with a few scattered fallen leaves and multiple trees, some with dense foliage and others with bare branches. The trees extend upwards, covering most of the background, and the setting appears to be a forest or woodland area.
