Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image shows a woman from the torso up. She is seated, with her right arm supporting her chin. She appears thoughtful, with her legs partially visible, one resting on the other. Her facial features are softly defined, with almond-shaped eyes and a slightly turned mouth. Her hair is short and softly waved around her face. The woman is outlined with fluid pencil lines and is not wearing any clothing. The setting is minimalistic, with no additional objects or background elements, except for a small circular stamp in red ink on the upper right labeled "ARCHIVAL MATERIAL." The background is a plain, light-toned surface.
