Artist, American, 1902 - 1988

The image shows a portrait of a person from about the shoulders up, with a three-quarter view and their head tilted slightly to the side. The person has a gentle expression, with softly defined facial features including deep-set eyes and slightly parted lips. Their hair is short and wavy, framing their face. They are wearing a garment with a v-neckline, and the drawing is done primarily in muted tones with pops of red and white. The background is plain and indistinct.
