A girl's head

About this work

This painting is a portrait of a young girl. She has dark hair, parted in the middle and pulled back, with a few loose strands framing her face. Her eyes are cast downward, and her lips are slightly parted. She wears a white shirt with a high collar and a red bow tied around her neck. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the girl's face. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation.
