Head of a Woman 1760 - 1815

Francesco Bartolozzi's "Head of a Woman" is a delicate red chalk drawing depicting a woman in profile, her face turned slightly upwards. Her hair is elaborately styled and adorned with a large, elaborate hat, revealing a graceful neck and the hint of a collar. The drawing demonstrates Bartolozzi's skillful hand and meticulous attention to detail, making it a compelling example of 18th-century portraiture.
