Artist, American, born France, 1898 - 1954

The image depicts a full-length sketch of a woman walking. She is captured in a mid-stride position with one arm bent at her waist and the other arm slightly extended as she holds a basket in her hand. Her facial features are drawn with emphasis on the eyes and nose, and her hair cascades around her shoulders. The woman is dressed in a flowing outfit with an emphasized swirling motion, and she is barefoot. On her head, she wears a cap. The background consists of a shaded, monochrome tone, with a textured appearance providing contrast to the figure's lighter outline.
