Head of a Woman in Profile with a Scarf

Giovanni Battista Piazzetta

Cleveland Museum of Art

A charcoal drawing on brown paper depicts a woman's head in profile. The woman's head is angled to the left. Her hair is pulled back and covered by a scarf that drapes down her back. The scarf covers the top of her head and one shoulder. The drawing is in shades of black and white. The background of the paper is a mottled brown color. The woman's facial features are defined, with a small nose and closed eyes. Her mouth is not visible. The drawing appears to be a study or sketch.
