Woman's Head c. 1930s

Abraham Walkowitz's "Woman's Head" (c. 1930s) is a pastel drawing that exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the essence of the human form. The piece features a close-up portrait of a woman, her eyes closed in a contemplative expression, and her head tilted upwards. The simplified forms and bold lines characteristic of Walkowitz's style, particularly in his later works, are evident in the contours of the woman's face and the gentle curve of her neck. The muted tones and soft shading contribute to the work's sense of tranquility and intimacy, emphasizing the subject's introspective nature. The prominent necklace adds a touch of visual interest and hints at the woman's elegance and grace.
