Artist, American, active c. 1935

The sculpture depicts a figure of a woman dressed in an early 20th-century style outfit. She is wearing a knee-length dress with short puffed sleeves. Her hair is styled in a neat updo. The sculpture is made of a material that appears to be wood, showcasing a natural brown color with visible grain patterns. The figure stands upright with both arms slightly bent at the elbows, and she appears to be wearing heeled shoes. The wood's smooth surfaces and rounded forms suggest that the sculpture is handcrafted, providing a simplistic yet detailed representation of the human form. The size of the sculpture compared to the image frame suggests it is likely a small, possibly tabletop piece.
