Head of a Young Woman

About this work

This is a simple charcoal drawing of a woman’s head and shoulders. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, and she’s wearing a plain, high-necked dress. The background is just a light, even tone—no extra details. The artist used soft shading to show her face, making it look gentle and calm. The lines are loose but controlled, giving it a quiet, sketchy feel. Next, look up scumbling to see how artists like this one create texture with chalk.
