Schrock (1879–1952), depicting an elegant young woman relaxing on a beach towel while gazing toward the ocean. Dressed in a stylish two-piece swimsuit and sandals, with softly curled hair in classic 1940s fashion, the composition captures the glamour and optimism of the American seaside during the mid-century era. The sweeping shoreline, calm water, and dramatic tonal background emphasize the graceful pose and refined figure.

The drawing is signed lower center and executed on paper. The carefully modeled figure, detailed tonal shading, and expressive realism 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.
