Artist, American, born 1940

The image depicts a young child lying on their back on a woven rug. The child has one hand on their forehead, one leg slightly bent, short hair, and is wearing a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. Next to the child is a jar on the floor. In the background, there is an old-fashioned television showing a puppet character. Below the television, there are newspapers or magazines, and there is a closed glass-paneled door reflecting light. The room is softly lit, creating a cozy atmosphere with shadows and indirect light.
