The artwork Head of a Young Girl by Alphonse Legros depicts a black and white pencil drawing of a young girl. The girl is drawn from the shoulders up, facing slightly to the right. She has a straight look on her face, with her eyebrows not raised or furrowed. Her hair is pulled back tightly. The drawing is on a light gray background with a slightly darker gray rectangular border around the drawing. The paper the drawing is on has a rough texture, which shows through in the shading. The drawing style suggests realism. The overall effect is one of simplicity and focus on the subject's features.
