Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a drawing of a person seated on a chair. The person is shown in a relaxed seated position, with one arm resting on the chair's armrest and the other arm hanging down towards the side. The facial features are roughly sketched with minimal detail, suggesting a faint outline for the face and short hair. The person appears to be nude, as indicated by the lack of detailed clothing. The background is plain and empty, allowing focus on the outlined figure and the chair. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held.
