Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch of a partial view of a woman from her knees to the top of her head. She is sitting with her legs bent, one overlapping the other. Her upper body is leaning forward with her right arm extended outward and her left arm folded towards her. Her face is turned towards her extended arm, and she has long, wavy hair falling around her shoulders. The woman is nude, and the sketch style uses soft lines to highlight her form. The background is minimalistic with a suggestion of bedding or fabric and a simple, undefined setting around her. No jewelry or objects are shown in the image.
