About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a person’s face and hair. The hair is pulled back into a bun, and the face is drawn with smooth lines. The eyes are large and round, and the mouth is small with a slight curve. The artist signed it in the corner, marking the year 1920. The drawing looks clean but also a little rough around the edges, like it was done quickly. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
