About this work

A red chalk study of a child's head turned sharply to the side, with the eyes glancing downward beneath loosely curled hair. The soft hatching and tonal shading define the cheek, nose, and small mouth, while the curls at the crown and back are suggested with quick looping strokes. The sheet is a warm cream paper with a faint horizontal fold near the top edge.
