Head 1920

"Head" is a 1920 etching by American artist Luigi Lucioni (1900-1988). The artwork is a portrait of an elderly woman in profile, rendered with meticulous detail and a sense of realism. The artist's use of lines and shading creates a strong sense of depth and form, conveying the subject's age and character. Lucioni was known for his skill in etching, and his work often featured portraits of individuals, often with a focus on their inner life and personality. The etching's composition, with the subject's head and shoulders filling the space, gives the viewer an intimate and compelling look at the sitter's face.
