Head of a youth in a hood, with flowing hair
Bust-length head study, three-quarter view
A finely drawn bust-length head of a young person seen in three-quarter view and turned to the left, framed by long wavy hair and a soft hood or veil drawn over the crown. The features are modelled with delicate hatching, the large eyes and full lips lending a gentle, idealized expression. The shoulders and drapery below are only lightly sketched.

Youthful head and shoulders
The head turns three-quarters toward the left, the calm face framed by loose curling hair falling to the shoulders. A soft hood or veil covers the top of the head and falls at either side of the face.
Fine hatched modelling
The rounded forms of the face are built with close parallel hatching that follows the turning of the surface. Light falls across the brow and near cheek while the far side of the face sinks into soft shadow.
