Study of Heads
The image shows a black and white drawing titled "Study of Heads" by Edgar Degas. The drawing depicts three heads and shoulders of people. The largest figure is on the left; they have curly hair and wear a dress with a decorative collar. The figure in the middle is smaller and located above and behind the first; they wear a headscarf and a long dress. The third figure is on the lower right; they wear a head covering and face the left. The background of the drawing is a light gray color with a thin black border around the edge. The paper appears to be textured. The overall composition is simple, with a focus on the three figures.
