Schrock (1879–1952), depicting a smiling young woman seated in vintage beachwear with a tied headscarf and sandals. Schrock was known for finely rendered figurative and narrative illustrations, particularly sensitive portrayals of children, family life, and storybook subjects. His work reflects the polished draftsmanship and expressive realism associated with early 20th-century American commercial illustration.

The drawing is signed and dated 1947 at the lower center and executed on artist's illustration paper. The carefully modeled figure, smooth tonal shading, and expressive facial features suggest the work may have been created for a book, magazine, advertising, or other commercial illustration project, although the original publication or intended use has not been identified.
