Artist, American, 1885 - 1965

The image shows a stylized depiction of a person with only the upper body visible, sitting at a table. The person is positioned in a seated posture, resting one of their arms on the table. The face is mostly obscured by a large, wide-brimmed hat, with long, dark hair flowing down from underneath it. The person is wearing a jacket with defined shoulders. In front of them on the table is a cup or glass with a cross-hatched texture. The background is an artistic representation of a landscape, possibly showing rolling hills and water, with wavy patterns that suggest movement or texture. The lines are simple and the overall composition has a minimalist and abstract quality.
