Study for "Portrait of Esther Haydin"

Robert William Vonnoh

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a young child's head and shoulders. The child is facing the viewer with a direct gaze. The sketch captures the child's facial features, including rounded cheeks, a small nose, slightly parted lips, and straight hair falling to shoulder length with bangs. The child appears to be wearing some type of garment, indicated by faint outlines around the shoulders. The background is minimal, focusing primarily on the child. No jewelry or objects are included in the sketch.
