Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image shows a figure in a semi-reclined position, extending from the head to the lower legs. The silhouette indicates slight leaning backward, with the right arm resting on an unknown surface and the left arm folded across the torso. The head is turned slightly to the left, with indistinctly sketched facial features and loosely pulled back hair. The figure is unclothed, emphasizing body contours and shadows. No jewelry or objects are visible, and the background is a plain surface contrasting with the bold charcoal lines of the figure.
