Artist, American, 1909 - 2011

The image is of a woman seated with a serene expression. She is facing slightly to the left, with her eyes gazing in that direction. Her facial features include smooth skin, a defined jawline, and slightly closed lips. Her hair is covered by a white headpiece that drapes over her shoulders. She is wearing a dark robe-like garment and holding an open book in her hands, cradling it gently. The background is plain and textured in light shades.
