This anonymous drawing, "Head of a Girl," dating from the 17th century, depicts the bust-length portrait of a young woman. The artist skillfully uses subtle shading and hatching to create a lifelike representation of the subject's features, particularly her delicate eyes and slightly parted lips. The drawing is framed in a double border, further enhancing its visual impact. This intimate, expressive work offers a glimpse into the artistry of the period.
