DescriptionThe sketch shows the head of a girl, slightly turned toward the left, whence a light illumines the right cheek. The rest of the face is in greenish shadow, interrupted by a patch of ruddy glow below the left eye. A tangle of chestnut hair upon the forehead and down the sides of the face is suggested by a few strokes over the flat underpainting. The whole is placed against a background, stained with tawny drab.
