The Head of a Woman in Profile Facing Left 1490 - 1500

This silverpoint drawing, created by Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio between 1490 and 1500, depicts the head of a woman in profile. The delicate lines of the drawing capture the subtle contours of the woman's face, creating a sense of both realism and idealism. The woman's downcast eyes and thoughtful expression suggest a sense of introspection and contemplation. This drawing is a testament to Boltraffio's skill as a draftsman and his ability to capture the beauty of the human form. It is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
