About this work

This sketch shows a girl’s face and shoulders, drawn in quick, loose lines. Her hair is pulled back under a headband, and she’s wearing a simple collar. The shading is soft but not smooth—it looks like the artist worked fast, leaving some marks visible. The title is *Head of Anne*, and the artist signed it with initials. The drawing feels unfinished, like a practice piece or a quick study. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this work. If you like this style, look up George Bellows for more sketches like this.
