Artist, American, 1903 - 1978

The sculpture depicts a human figure with stylized features, including a large head with prominent facial features, such as deeply set eyes and defined lips. The figure also has a pronounced posture, with one arm bent at the elbow and the other raised slightly. It is crafted from wood, giving it a natural brown color with visible wood grain patterns. The sculpture appears to be around life-sized in relation to human proportions, with legs and arms extending naturally from a solid body, and feet and hands detailed with fingers and toes. The simplicity in carving and emphasis on the figure's torso and limbs suggest a robust, organic form.
