Original graphite pencil drawing by American artist and illustrator Theodore E. Schrock (1879-1952), depicting an elegant young woman in a vintage swimsuit and bathing cap reclining on the beach beneath a dramatic sky. 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 at the lower right and executed on artist's illustration paper. The carefully modeled figure, detailed 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.
