Artist, American, 1907 - 1975

The image displays a line drawing of a young girl seated and leaning over a rectangular piece of paper, apparently engaged in writing or drawing. She is holding a crayon in her left hand, with her right hand resting beside it. The girl has medium-length hair with straight bangs, wearing a short-sleeved dress with decorative details. Behind her is a floral-patterned fabric, possibly a chair or cushion. Crayons are scattered on the table beside the paper. The background is minimally detailed, with simple outlines and shaded areas.
