A Girl's Head - K 1919

"A Girl's Head - K" is an etching by British artist Augustus John, created in 1919. The work displays John's signature style, characterized by bold lines and dramatic chiaroscuro. The subject, likely a young woman, is depicted in profile, her features rendered with a sense of both realism and expressiveness. John's use of etching, a process that involves scratching into a metal plate, contributes to the work's textural quality and lends a sense of immediacy to the portrait. The artist's signature, simply "John," is prominently placed in the lower right corner.
