Head of a Young Woman

Thomas Cheesman

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a close-up view of a woman's head and shoulders as she looks up and slightly to her left. Her facial features include rounded cheeks with a hint of blush, full lips, and large eyes. She has long, curly, dark hair partially covered by a light-colored headscarf. She wears a simple garment with a scooped neckline and there are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is textured, emphasizing her serene expression.
