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

The image is a sketch of a person standing with their body slightly hunched forward. The facial features are minimally detailed, with a hint of downward gaze, and the hair is covered by a scarf or hood. The person is dressed in a short-sleeved top with a rounded neckline and a knee-length skirt, with hands clasped together at the waist. The sketch is simple and monochromatic, drawn in pencil, with a plain background consisting of empty space on a sheet of paper with minor visible marks. There are no visible jewelry or objects.
