Tête de Putiphar (Head of Potiphar's Wife) is a 1773 chalk by Louis-Marin Bonnet, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting is a portrait of a woman, titled "Tête de Putiphar" (Head of Potiphar's Wife). The woman's head is turned to the right, and her hair is pulled back into a bun. Her face is rendered in soft, gentle lines, with a subtle expression. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the portrait, with the woman's features emerging from the shadows. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the woman is lost in thought. The artist who created this work is Louis-Marin Bonnet.
