About this work

This drawing shows a side view of a face and neck. The hair is drawn as sharp, wavy lines, and the features are simple—big eyes, a small nose, and a slight smile. The background is just plain paper, so all the focus stays on the lines. The artist used soft charcoal and pastel, which makes the lines look smooth but still strong. The drawing feels calm and a little mysterious. If you like this style, check out Amedeo Modigliani for more work like this.
