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

The image is a sketch of a person sitting in a large armchair. The drawing shows the person's entire body, seated with hands folded in their lap. The individual is facing forward, with legs together and feet positioned flat on the floor. The facial features are simple and expressive, with calm demeanor and straight hair falling to the shoulders. They are depicted wearing a long-sleeved top and skirt. No jewelry or objects are visible in their hands. The background is plain, with only the armchair framing the figure in the composition.
