Little Girl Smiling

Carlo Paolo Agazzi

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait sketch showing the head and a portion of the shoulders of a person, likely a child, turned slightly to one side. The person's face is directed to the right, with subtle facial features and a hint of a smile. The hair is wavy and tousled, covering the top of the head and cascading down. The person is wearing a garment with a textured collar or neckline. There is no visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, with a margin surrounding the sketch and a signature visible below the portrait on the right side.
