Girl's Head 1918

"Girl's Head" is a 1918 charcoal drawing by the French artist Marie Laurencin. It depicts the profile of a young woman with a dark, flowing mane of hair covering most of the canvas. The subject’s delicate features and ethereal beauty are signature elements of Laurencin's style, which became widely popular for its depiction of femininity. The addition of a small blue bird in the lower left corner adds a touch of whimsy and innocence to the composition.
