Head of a Young Woman

About this work

This charcoal drawing on brown paper depicts the profile of a young woman, her face turned to the right. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a white collar. The artist's use of charcoal and white chalk creates a sense of depth and texture, with the subject's features subtly defined. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation. The delicate rendering of the subject's profile is reminiscent of the work of other Impressionist artists. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up scumbling.
