The painting features a charcoal drawing on paper, depicting a woman's head and shoulders. Her long, curly hair cascades down her back, while her face is obscured by a blank oval shape. The artist's use of charcoal creates a range of tones, from dark shadows to lighter highlights. In the bottom-right corner, the artist's signature is visible, accompanied by the date "1961." The overall effect of the piece is one of simplicity and elegance, with the focus on the woman's hair and the subtle play of light and shadow. To learn more about the artist's techniques, explore the concept of scumbling.
