Artist, Welsh, 1878 - 1961

The image is a portrait of a person shown from the chest up. The person is in a seated position, with their head resting on their left hand, and their gaze directed slightly to the side. Their facial features include prominent, expressive eyes, a slightly upturned nose, and full lips. They have curly hair that falls around their face, and they are wearing a flat, rounded hat covering much of their hair. Their clothing appears to be a draped garment, suggested by the loose lines and folds around the shoulders. The person's right arm is also visible, resting across the body. The background consists of simple, linear shading.
