Head of a Young Girl Turning toward the Right

François Hubert Drouais

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a portrait of a young girl. The girl faces right; her head and shoulders are visible. She has fair skin and curly light-colored hair that is pulled back. Her hairline is curved. The girl has brown eyes, thin eyebrows, a small nose, and a thin-lipped mouth. She wears a high-collared garment; the collar is folded over. There is a bow at her neck. The drawing is in shades of brown; the background is darker brown than the girl. The drawing appears to have been made with a pencil; it is on brown paper. The girl's portrait takes up most of the image. In a corner is a small note in cursive writing.
