About this work

Overview

Created around 1850 by the artist identified as 30276_person, this paper drawing is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. The composition consists of three brief portrait studies rendered on a single sheet, each depicting a different facial orientation.

Subject & Meaning

The work presents three heads: one shown in strict profile, another turned slightly toward the viewer, and a third gazing downward. The minimal lines convey distinct expressions and attitudes, suggesting an interest in capturing the essence of facial gesture rather than detailed likeness.

Technique & Style

Executed with light, hurried strokes, the sketches employ a loose, sketchy line quality that emphasizes contour over surface detail. Marginal scribbles in faint ink accompany the images, and the paper’s aged, worn appearance adds a tactile sense of the artist’s working process.

History & Provenance

The drawing dates to the mid‑nineteenth century and has remained in the Museum of Ethnography’s holdings. No further ownership changes are recorded, and the piece is catalogued under the artist’s identifier, 30276_person.
