Head of a Boy (Gennaro Falcone?)

Aniello Falcone

National Gallery of Art

The image is a drawing of the head and neck of a young person. The person is looking downward, with their eyes closed and lips slightly curved. They have short, wavy hair falling gently around their head. The drawing is done in red chalk on textured beige paper, emphasizing delicate lines and shading. There are no clothing details, with a minimal background. In the lower left corner, there is a signature, and a small stamp is in the bottom right corner.
