Artist, American, born Russia, 1899 - 1987

The image shows a charcoal drawing of a woman from the waist up, sitting on the edge of a bed in profile. She has straight, dark hair and is wearing a long-sleeved top and a light-colored skirt. Her hands are resting on her lap, and the setting suggests a simple room with minimal furnishings. A folded garment is on the bed to her right, and there is a vertical partition behind her casting a shadow. The background is textured and softly shaded.
