Heads of Egyptian Children, Cairo is a 1862 watercolor by Egron Sillif Lundgren, a Impressionism work, depicting Headscarf, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows five heads of people wearing simple headscarves. The faces are drawn lightly in watercolor, with soft lines and little detail. The paper looks worn, and the colors are mostly light browns and tans. The artist wrote "Cairo" and "1862" in the corner, hinting this was drawn in Egypt. The faces all have a calm, quiet look, with eyes closed or looking down. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of this artist’s work.
