Head of a young Woman is a 1788 oil by Ubaldo Gandolfi, a Rococo painting work, held at Ashmolean Museum.
The painting features a young woman with dark hair tied up in a bun, gazing to her left. She wears a reddish-brown dress with a high collar, and her right arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand resting on her chest. The background is a dark brown color. A quiet visual detail in the painting is the way the woman's hair is styled, with a few loose strands framing her face. This adds a sense of softness to her overall appearance.
