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

The image shows a sketch of a person reclining on their back. Their body is angled slightly to the left, with legs stretched out and arms positioned across the torso. The head is turned to the side, with short, textured hair and softly sketched facial features. The attire is loosely suggested. There are no details of jewelry or objects. The background is plain, and the drawing has a light and fluid style.
