Artist, American, 1851 - 1914

This is a pencil sketch of a partially visible human figure. The visible part of the body is shown from around the shoulders to the knees, with the upper half of the body not clearly defined. The figure appears to be in a seated or reclining position, with arms and legs bent in a relaxed posture. The facial features are not distinctly drawn, and the hair is not clearly outlined. The clothing is suggested by lines and shade marks, giving the sketch an abstract and unfinished appearance. There are no jewelry or objects present, and the background is blank, emphasizing the sketched lines.
