Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image shows an artistic sketch of a reclining person with raised arms behind their head. The face is abstract, with minimal features, and short, loosely indicated hair. The person is unclothed, and the sketch focuses on outlines and contours without detailed clothing. A simple line suggestive of furniture is in the immediate surrounding. There are no objects or jewelry, and the background is plain, with a stamp or seal in the lower corner of the image.
