Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The drawing depicts a person seated on the ground, with one knee raised and an arm resting on that knee. The person is looking downward with their head slightly tilted. The lines outlining the facial features, including the eyes, nose, and lips, are minimalistic. The figure has short hair and is unclothed. The body's lines are fluid and loose. In the background, there are simple sketches indicating a chair or furniture. Abstract sketch lines above the person's head may represent wall hangings, and a red stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL" is visible in the lower right corner. The background is plain, drawing attention to the figure.
