Head of a Child (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a child's head and shoulders. The child has curly hair. The drawing is on a white background, with the paper slightly larger than the drawing itself. The drawing is pasted onto a larger piece of paper. The larger piece of paper is white with darker spots and lines. There is a small piece of paper on the right side of the drawing that appears to be folded over. The drawing is of a child with a neutral expression. The child appears to be wearing a shirt or dress with a ruffled collar. The overall image is in black and white.
