Artist, American, 1882 - 1925

The image is a pencil sketch depicting a group of people, mainly of their upper bodies and heads. The individuals are illustrated in a variety of positions, some facing forward, others in profile, and some slightly turned to the side. The facial features are simple and somewhat exaggerated, with distinct outlines and details. There is a woman with a voluminous updo and a man with a prominent mustache, while another figure is wearing round glasses. The clothing appears minimalistic but suggests formal attire for some, with collared shirts and what might resemble a dress with ruffles. Several figures have accessories, such as hats. The background is plain.
