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

The image shows a sketch of a nude figure seen from the side. The body is fully visible, while the head and face are partially hidden due to the person bending forward at the waist. The drawing features an expressive, gestural style, with the right arm raised and bent behind the head, and the left arm slightly visible and hanging down. The hair is flowing and textured, covering the face. The figure is unclothed, with no accessories or objects. The background is plain and light-colored to emphasize the figure.
