Head of Anne is a 1923 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a girl with long, wavy hair pulled back. She’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The drawing is mostly in pencil, with soft shading on her face and neck, and quick lines for her dress. The artist left small notes like “G.B.” and “Anne 1923” in the corners, hinting at the sitter’s name and the year. The sketch feels quick but careful, focusing on her face and hair. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—a technique using strong light and dark contrasts.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
