This image features a pencil drawing of a person's head in profile, with their hair styled in a beret and a scarf wrapped around their neck. The drawing is rendered in simple lines, with minimal shading or detail. The subject's face is turned to the left, with their eyes cast downward. The artist's signature, "Jean," is visible in the bottom-left corner, accompanied by a small star symbol. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, explore the work of Jean Cocteau.
