Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch of a person lying down. The person's upper body is depicted horizontally, with their face turned slightly upwards. Facial features are minimalist, showing the outline of the nose, closed eyes, and flowing hair. The individual is wearing a loose garment or drapery, suggested by fold lines. The background is plain, with a red stamp labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL" on the left side. Perforated edges suggest the sketch is from a sketchbook.
