Artist, American, 1910 - 1962

The artwork depicts a stylized portrait of a person shown from the waist up. The individual is seated, slightly turned towards the left, with their face angled to the viewer. Their facial features are abstract and elongated, with limited detail and simplified shapes. They have facial hair and wear a large, angular reddish-brown hat. The person is dressed in a blue coat over a yellow garment. The lower part of their body, including one bent arm, suggests they are sitting on an undefined brown surface. They rest their hand on a white surface. The background is a mix of grays and neutrals.
