Young Woman's Head in Profile is a 1760 graphite by Hubert Robert, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a woman’s face turned to the side. Her hair is pulled back, and her neck is long. The lines are soft and light, almost like a quick sketch. The paper looks old, with tiny marks from the maker. This kind of drawing was often used to practice or study faces. Check out Robert, Hubert for more sketches like this.
Hubert Robert (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1733 – 15 April 1808) was a French painter in the school of Romanticism, noted especially for his landscape paintings and capricci, or semi-fictitious picturesque depictions of ruins in Italy and of France.
