Tête de femme (Head of a Woman)

About this work

This woodcut print depicts a woman's head, rendered in black on wove paper. The woman's face is turned slightly to the left, with her hair pulled back and a hat on her head. Her features are simplified, with bold lines and minimal details. The print is done in a bold, graphic style, with the black ink creating a striking contrast with the white paper. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the woman's face emerging from the darkness of the ink. The artist, Henri-Charles Guérard, was a French painter and printmaker who was associated with the Impressionist movement.
