Artist, American, 1888 - 1966

The image is a charcoal drawing of a person shown from the waist up, seated in a three-quarter view facing slightly to the right. The person is hunched forward, intently focused on something in their hands. Their facial features are softly sketched, with downcast eyes, a small nose, and lips, set in a concentrated expression. The hair is short and appears to be styled in a bob cut. The person is wearing a dress with a simple, rounded neckline and layered sleeves, suggested by quick, broad strokes. The background is plain, emphasizing the figure's form and the action of their hands, with a hint of a chair back visible behind them. There are no visible items of jewelry or other objects apart from the potential sewing or embroidery they are working on. The sketch is created on brownish paper.
