Head of a Young Girl and Studies of Hands and of her Right Foot 1645 - 1716

"Head of a Young Girl and Studies of Hands and of her Right Foot" is a drawing on paper by the French artist Charles de la Fosse, who was born in 1636 and died in 1716. The drawing, which was created sometime between 1645 and 1716, is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It depicts the head of a young girl in profile, with her right foot and two studies of hands. De la Fosse's use of red chalk and black chalk gives the drawing a sense of depth and dimension. The drawing is a testament to de la Fosse's skill as a draftsman, and his interest in anatomical study.
