Artist, Welsh, 1878 - 1961

The image depicts a seated person with a significant portion of their upper and lower body visible. The person is reclining against a textured surface, with one arm resting to the side and the other appearing to support their head. Their facial features are partially obscured by a wide-brimmed hat, but a hint of hair is visible beneath it. The individual is depicted in a state of undress, with draped fabric around their lower body. The background is intricately shaded, providing a textured contrast to the figure. There is no visible jewelry or objects held by the person, and the overall composition is monochrome, emphasizing line and shadow.
