Artist, American, 1897 - 1963

The image shows a portrait of a person depicted from the shoulders up. The person is positioned in a reclining pose, with the head resting on a pillow and the hands visible, suggesting relaxation. The facial features are stylized with defined eyebrows and lips, and the hair is short, wavy, and appears to be crafted in an expressive manner, featuring a headdress or a crown-like embellishment. The clothing is intricately patterned with geometric and floral motifs, and there seems to be a fabric, possibly a blanket, covering the individual. The person is not visibly adorned with jewelry, and they aren’t holding any objects. The background features a flat red hue with abstract, decorative elements sketched in, including the pillow outlined with linear designs.
