Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image depicts a sketch of a person shown from their head down to their knees. The person is positioned leaning forward with their right hand touching the ground and their left knee also making contact with a surface. The facial features are roughly outlined, with the head slightly turned to the side, and the hair is sketched simply with a few arcs. There is no distinct clothing depicted. The background is blank, emphasizing the figure itself, with no visible jewelry or objects being held. The drawing is a loose, dynamic composition using heavy lines.
