This is a simple black-and-white sketch of a woman’s face. Her hair is pulled back, showing a high forehead and strong eyebrows. The lines are loose but confident, with a few quick strokes for her collar and hair curls. The artist signed it in the corner—"Walt Kuhn"—and dated it 1924. There’s no color, just shading and line work to shape her features. Want to know more? Check out lithography.
