Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a minimalist figure with elongated features. It resembles a stylized or abstract form of a humanoid figure, with a cylindrical head that is bent slightly forward, and long, slender legs that curve outward. The sculpture is made of a brown material that appears to be wood, displaying a textured surface with visible grain patterns. Its simplistic form gives it an abstract appearance, emphasizing basic shapes and forms while lacking in detailed features that are usually associated with realistic sculptures. The material's natural color lends an earthy and organic quality to the sculpture.
