Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

This image depicts a sketch of a person with most of their body shown, from the top of their head to approximately their knees. The person is standing with their left hand resting on their hip and the right leg bent. The facial features are abstract, with bold, expressive lines; the person’s hair appears short and roughly outlined. There are no visible clothes drawn on the person. The background is a plain, unadorned light color that highlights the contrast of the bold, dark strokes used in the sketch. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held, and the context around them is purely the simplified and focused form of the drawing itself.
