Head of Woman, Turning Left n.d.

This anonymous drawing, "Head of Woman, Turning Left," is a study in form and expression. The artist uses delicate, precise lines to capture the subtle contours of the woman's face, rendered in a three-quarter profile, giving an impression of lifelike detail. The woman's hair, rendered in a series of loose, flowing lines, suggests a sense of movement, adding to the dynamism of the composition. This pen and ink drawing, which is part of the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, demonstrates the artistic skill and artistic sensibility of the anonymous artist.
