Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch depicting a partial view of a human figure. The person is in a seated position, leaning slightly to one side with one arm resting on a bent knee and the other arm extended outward, elbow bent. The facial features are roughly outlined, and the head is shown with minimal detailing for hair. There is no visible clothing or objects around the person. The sketch uses simple, flowing lines to create the human form. The background is plain, focusing the attention entirely on the figure drawn in black on white paper.
