Head of a Boy; and the Entrance to a Shack

John Singer Sargent

National Gallery of Art

This drawing shows a young person's profile and an interior view of a rustic structure. The sketched portrait is on the left, showing the shoulders and head of a young individual with curly hair, straight eyebrows, wide eyes, and a slightly downturned mouth. The person faces slightly to the left and wears a jacket with a tie or cravat around their neck. To the right of the portrait is a depiction of the interior of a wooden shed or cabin, characterized by rough lumber textures and various tools or items stacked against the walls. The two drawings are separate, and the background is blank, beige paper.
