Head of a Young Woman in Profile
Girl's head with lowered gaze, drawn on blue-grey prepared paper
On an irregularly cut sheet of blue-grey prepared paper, a young woman's head is drawn in profile facing left, her eyes lowered and her expression calm and inward. The hair is swept back from the brow and gathered in soft waves behind the head, delicately worked in fine metalpoint-like strokes with faint heightening. A collection stamp is faintly visible in the lower part of the sheet. No transcribed text accompanies the drawing.

Profile head of a young woman
The head is seen in pure profile turned to the left, the lids lowered over a downcast gaze that lends a meditative air. The rounded forehead, straight nose and small mouth are drawn with great delicacy on the tinted ground. The hair is combed back from the face and coiled in loose waves behind.
