Tête de femme (Head of a Woman)

Henri-Charles Guérard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a small, black and white illustration within a larger blank area. The illustration features the upper part of a person's body in a three-quarter view, looking slightly to the left. The person has a youthful face with a neutral expression, short dark hair, and is wearing a wide-brimmed dark hat with a large bow or decoration. They are also dressed in a dark coat or garment. The background is mostly white with a streak of dark shading on the right side of the person within the square containing the drawing, against a plain light beige or cream background.
