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

The image depicts a half-view of a person's upper body in a minimalistic side profile sketch. The individual is shown in a seated or slightly leaning forward position, seemingly focused on their work. Their facial features are sketched with lines for the nose, mouth, and downward gaze. The hair is styled with flowing waves in loose, continuous lines. The person is dressed in a garment with straps, and their raised hand is holding a ring while the other hand holds a brush or stick. In front of the individual is a large piece of paper or canvas, and the background is blank with some faint smudging on the upper left.
