Ten Heads

George Luks

National Gallery of Art

The image features nine facial sketches with different expressions and hairstyles. The sketches show head and shoulder representations with no bodies depicted. The faces have various orientations, including front-facing, profile, and angled views. The hairstyles range from straight to curly, with different lengths, and one sketch shows a man with a beard and mustache. Minimal clothing details are visible, with simple lines suggesting collars or necklines, and one figure is wearing a cap. No jewelry is depicted, and the sketches appear on a plain brown paper background. The artist's signature "George Luks" is at the bottom left of the image. The sketches are in black lines, likely drawn with a pencil or similar medium.
