Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image features a charcoal drawing of a seated person with crossed legs. The person appears relaxed, sitting back on a chair with hands resting, possibly on their legs. The facial features are minimally sketched and slightly abstract, with bold strokes suggesting the outline of a face and hair that appears dark. The figure seems unclothed, and the drawing prioritizes form and posture over attire. There is no detailed clothing or jewelry depicted. The background is plain, and a red circular stamp marked "ARCHIVE RD MATERIAL" is visible near the figure's shoulder in the top right of the image.
