Headdress

Eva Noe

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a partial illustration of a person, focusing on the head and shoulders. The person is wearing an intricately wrapped turban with soft, curved lines suggesting folds of fabric. Below the turban, there are small curls. The facial features are not detailed; only an outline of the face is visible without specific details. The person wears a garment with a ruffled collar, drawn in delicate lines. In the lower right corner, there is a separate smaller drawing that appears to be a study of the turban. The background is plain, emphasizing the line drawing on textured paper with a warm tone.
