'Head of a Girl'

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
This sketch shows a woman’s face and head wrapped in a cloth. The lines are loose but careful, especially around her eyes and hair. The paper is light, and the drawing looks like it was done quickly, with some marks smudged. The artist signed it in the corner—just a small "S Spencer." The date at the top is faded, but it’s unclear what it says. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
