"To ansigter i profil mod venstre" is an anonymous charcoal and chalk drawing housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark. The work, dating from 1778 - 1809, depicts two female figures, both in profile and facing left. The style of the drawing is suggestive of a sketch or preparatory study, perhaps for a larger portrait or composition. The simplified lines and subtle shading give an impression of spontaneity and informality.
