Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image is a sketch of a person depicted from the knee up. The person is sitting upright with one leg bent and resting on a bench or platform. Their head is turned slightly to the side, with loosely defined facial features and short hair. The figure's torso and arms are visible, with shading indicating muscle definition. One arm is bent at the elbow and resting behind them, while the other arm drapes across their lap and rests on their knee. The background has a textured appearance with horizontal elements, abstract in nature to emphasize the figure.
