Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The sketch shows a person reclining on a lounge chair. The person is positioned in a relaxed state with their upper body leaning against the backrest, one leg bent and the other extended. The facial features are calm and serene, with long, dark, flowing hair. The individual is lightly dressed, with minimal clothing as suggested by the contours. Patterns are seen on a draped fabric, possibly a blanket or covering, on the chair. The background features sketchy vertical lines, indicating drapery or curtains. There are no visible items of jewelry or objects held by the person.
