Artist, American, 1896 - 1969

This print depicts a man standing upright, facing the right, holding a tall staff or pole with both hands. The man's face is shaded, obscuring most of his features, and he has dark hair that sweeps across his forehead. He is nude, standing with one leg slightly bent. His skin is light, and there is a small area of dark hair around his groin. The background is plain, with text near the bottom right corner showing the date and artist's signature. The drawing is done in dark lines on tan paper.
