National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a head, focused on the facial features, with no body visible. The head is positioned at a three-quarter angle, turned slightly to the right. The facial features include well-defined eyebrows, a prominent nose, full lips, and deep-set eyes. The hair is short and curly, closely cropped to the scalp. The person is not wearing any clothing or jewelry, and there are no objects visible. The background is plain and unadorned, consisting of a simple cream or off-white color with a rectangular border surrounding the head.
