Head of a Girl is a 1898 oil by Robert Loftin Newman, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
The painting is a portrait of a young girl, her head turned to the left. She has dark hair pulled back, and her face is blurred. The background is dark and indistinct. The girl's features are not sharply defined, giving the painting a soft, dreamy quality. The artist has used a muted color palette to create a sense of subtlety and restraint. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Robert Loftin Newman.
Robert Loftin Newman (November 10, 1827 – March 31, 1912) was an American painter and stained-glass designer.
