Head of a woman 1753 - 1763

This etching, titled "Head of a Woman," is a work by Italian artist Pietro Testa, created sometime between 1753 and 1763. The piece features a woman in profile, her face partially obscured by a veil that beautifully folds and drapes around her head. The etching's intricate lines create a sense of texture and depth, highlighting the delicate features of the woman's face. The artwork is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and is a testament to Testa's mastery of printmaking. This piece is an excellent example of the Baroque art movement, characterized by dramatic lighting and a focus on human emotions.
