Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

The sketch shows a side view of a person lying down, with most of the upper body visible. The person is reclined back in a chair or sofa with their head resting on the rear of the furniture and their body angled slightly to the right. The individual has long hair tucked behind their ear, distinct facial features, a calm, closed-mouth expression, and is dressed in a short-sleeved shirt. One arm rests across their torso, with the hand holding something. The background is minimal, with sketch lines indicating the form of the furniture they are lying on.
