Head of a Young Girl Turning toward the Right is a 1758 by François-Hubert Drouais, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a young girl's face turning to the right. The girl's expression is gentle, and her eyes are cast downward. This portrait is interesting because it was once thought to be the work of another artist, Louis Tocqué, but is now attributed to François-Hubert Drouais. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
