Artist, American, 1883 - 1962

The image is a sketch of a woman shown from the waist up in a reclined position. She has one arm bent and resting on a surface. Her face is turned slightly to the right showing her facial features: a pronounced nose, emphasized eyebrows, closed lips. She has long, wavy hair contouring around her face and shoulders. The woman wears a light, off-the-shoulder blouse with subtle details suggesting frills or folds. She has a necklace and earrings. The background is plain with a light-toned surface and simple margins.
