Study of Woman's Head, Turned Right

Alphonse Legros

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed drawing of a person's head and partial neck in a profile view. The facial features are delicately drawn, showing defined contours around the eyes, nose, and mouth. The person's face is turned slightly upwards with a slight upwards gaze. The hair is depicted with soft, curly lines indicating a full head of hair. The drawing does not include clothing details. There are no visible jewelry or objects being held. The background is a plain, neutral tone to highlight the person's features.
