"Head of A Woman" is a 1926 drawing by French artist Marie Laurencin. Executed in charcoal and blue pencil on paper, the artwork depicts a woman's face, her features softly rendered and her expression calm. The subject is wearing a hat, possibly a cloche hat, popular during the 1920s. Laurencin is known for her delicate and expressive portraiture, often featuring women in elegant settings, and this drawing exemplifies her signature style.
