Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image features a pencil sketch of two nude figures. The figure on the left is seated in a relaxed pose, with one leg drawn slightly up and an arm bent at the elbow. They have long hair. The figure on the right is posed dynamically, holding ropes or bars, with legs slightly splayed and head facing to the right, appearing to wear a hat or hair that frames the face. The drawing style is loose and sketchy, with swirling lines in the background, possibly representing foliage. There are no detailed facial features or distinct clothing or objects.
