L'art de la lithographie: Head of an Amazon is a 1819 by Alois Senefelder, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman's head and shoulders. She has curly hair and looks to her right. She wears a helmet with a plume and a breastplate. The image is in black and white. The woman is depicted in a classical style, with a serious expression. Her hair is styled in loose curls, and her helmet and breastplate suggest a strong and powerful figure. The artist, Alois Senefelder, was a German painter who worked in the Romantic style. This painting is a good example of his work, with its classical themes and dramatic lighting.
