Artist, American, 1807 - 1868

The image is a sketch on a lightly aged piece of paper, showing a faint full-body outline of a person positioned slightly to the left side of the composition. The person appears to stand upright, but details are not clearly defined. Vague lines suggest the person might be wearing a hat and a long garment, possibly a coat or robe. The facial features are not discernible due to the lightness of the sketch. There is no visible jewelry or objects held by the person. The background of the image is plain, with some visible texture and discoloration likely due to the paper's condition.
