The painting depicts a head in a simple, abstract style. The head is drawn in black and white, with bold lines and geometric shapes. The face is tilted to the right, with the chin pointing downwards. The eyes are closed, and the mouth is a small, curved line. The hair is depicted as a series of short, curved lines that follow the shape of the head. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which provides a subtle contrast to the bold lines and shapes of the head. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the abstract forms creating a sense of calm and serenity. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Laurens, Henri.
