Artist, American, active c. 1930s

The image shows a full-body portrait of a young woman standing with one hand on her hip and the other hand relaxed by her side. She has short, dark hair styled closely to her head, with soft facial features visible. She is wearing a long-sleeved dress with a decorative pattern along the midline and near the hem, paired with white stockings and dark shoes. A ring is visible on one of her fingers. The background features a painted backdrop that includes elements suggestive of a garden setting—such as decorative ironwork and plant-like patterns—along with a draped curtain.
