About this work

This small drawing shows a face looking straight ahead. The eyes are closed, and the hair is drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The background is plain white, with just a faint edge around the paper. The artist used a metal stylus on special paper, leaving dark lines against a light surface. This method is called *silverpoint*—it’s an old technique that makes marks look sharp and permanent.
