Artist, American, born 1944

The image shows a woman's upper body with a focus on her face and arms. She is partially turned sideways, looking downward with her head slightly tilted. She has a neutral expression, high cheekbones, plump lips, and short blonde hair neatly styled back. She wears a dark off-the-shoulder garment, exposing her shoulders, and accessorizes with a black choker necklace with a white bead or pendant, multiple earrings on her left ear, and a black wristwatch. Her right hand is crossing her chest, grasping her left shoulder, while her left hand touches her neck. In the background is a warm, earthy colored gradient, contrasting with her outfit. Soft shadows are cast across her skin due to the lighting.
