Artist, American, 1909 - 2001

The sketch shows a full-length view of a person drawn in a simple, linear style. The individual is standing with a slightly forward-facing position, with hands resting on their hips. The facial features are minimal, with a basic outline suggesting eyes and a mouth, while the hair is depicted as a loose, flowing form around the head. The clothing is suggested through the lines, showing a top and a long, flowing bottom garment. The surrounding area includes a few abstract lines and shapes to the left and right, with no detailed background elements. The drawing is set against a plain background, and features the artist's signature and the date "2-1-67" at the bottom left corner.
