Walter Roshardt

Artist, Swiss, 1897 - 1966

The image is a sketch of a person shown from head to below the knees. The person is seated or partially reclined at a slight angle. They have a calm expression, long hair over their shoulders, and wear a long-sleeved garment. Faint outlines suggest an ornate headboard or backdrop with abstract designs. The background is minimally sketched, emphasizing the detailed area surrounding the individual.
