Louis Anquetin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of five portraits showing only the head and neck of a person in profile facing left. The person in each sketch has a slightly bent neck with varying angles. The facial features are exaggerated with a prominent nose and a distinctive mustache. The hair is curly and somewhat unruly. They are depicted wearing clothing with a loose, open collar. The sketches are set on a plain, light-colored background. The artist's signature, "Anquetin," is visible in the lower right corner of the image.
