Artist, American, born 1951

The image depicts a woman shown from the knees up, seated on a dark bench. She is positioned in profile, facing to the left of the image. Her facial features are not detailed due to the image's monochromatic tone. She has a high bun with a section of hair falling forward over her forehead. She is dressed in loose, short-sleeved clothing resembling scrubs, with the top and pants both appearing to be made of the same material. Around the bottom of the bench, there is some draped fabric. She is wearing light-colored shoes with no visible jewelry or objects in her hands. The background is a dark, empty void.
