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

The image shows a sketch of a person from the waist up. The individual is seated, with their body slightly turned to the side and their head facing forward. The facial features are depicted with simple lines, giving the impression of a broad nose and a slight smile. The person appears to have short hair or a head covering that fits closely to the head. They are wearing an upper garment, like a shirt or jacket, with loose, undefined sleeves. Their hands are resting on an unseen surface, with one hand over the other. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects being held. The sketch is drawn on a plain background, using what appears to be a pen on slightly aged or stained paper.
