Head of a Woman Looking Down (Theresa Turner?)

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

This image depicts a detailed pencil drawing of a person in profile view, facing left and slightly downward. The head and shoulders are the focus, with finely rendered facial features including a straight nose and closed lips. The hair is styled in tight curls and buns, with some curls cascading across the forehead. The shoulders and upper chest are lightly sketched, with a faint indication of a garment. The background is plain.
