Artist, American, active 1940s

The image shows a person sitting on a pier, with legs drawn up and arms resting on their knees. The individual has short hair and is facing towards the water, so facial features are not visible. They are dressed in dark clothing blending with the pier. The person is surrounded by dock posts and overlooking the water. The background shows a textured rendering of the water's surface, contrasting with the dock and shadows.
