Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person seated with their legs spread apart and their torso leaning forward. The individual's left arm is resting on their left knee, supporting their head, which is tilted downwards and partially obscuring their face. The right arm is draped over the right knee. The facial features are indistinct due to the position, and the hair is short and dark, covering much of the face. The individual is sketched in a nude form, and the background is plain. The drawing style is simple yet expressive, without any visible jewelry or objects included in the sketch.
