Youth

About this work

This sketch shows a young person with short, straight hair and a calm expression. The lines are soft, especially around the face, and the shading is light. The paper has a few faint pencil marks outside the main drawing. The artist focused on simple shapes and gentle shadows to show the face. It feels like a quick study, maybe done to practice capturing a likeness. Next, check out Jean Ulen (American, 1900–1988) to see more of their work.
