Head of a Youth with Wavy Hair
Metalpoint study on prepared paper
A delicate metalpoint study on toned prepared ground of a young person's head seen nearly frontally, with softly modelled features and long wavy hair falling to either side. Small curling forms among the hair read as leaves or a light wreath. A collector's stamp appears at the lower right of the sheet.

Frontal head of a youth
A youthful, almost androgynous face is drawn frontally in fine metalpoint, the large eyes, straight nose and full lips lightly shaded on the toned ground. Long wavy locks frame the face and fall over the shoulders. Small curling forms among the hair suggest leaves or a slight wreath.
