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

The image shows a full-body sketch of a person standing upright with a slight lean to the side. The individual's facial features, closed eyes, straight nose, and solemn expression, are depicted with simple lines. The hair is styled in short, curly locks, drawn with loose, flowing lines. The person is not wearing any clothing, clearly portraying the outline of the body, with hands likely positioned behind the back and legs close together. The figure is sketched on a plain sheet of paper, without any specific background, objects, or jewelry.
