Young girl 1916

Robert Henri's 1916 charcoal drawing, "Young Girl," captures a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition is simple, focusing on the subject's head and shoulders, with a hint of her surroundings in the background. Henri's signature loose style is evident in the quick, expressive lines that define the girl's features and the delicate folds of her clothing. The work showcases Henri's ability to convey emotion through subtle gestures, giving viewers a glimpse into the young girl's inner world. The unfinished quality of the drawing, with its visible brushstrokes and loose lines, adds to the intimate and spontaneous nature of the piece.
