Portrait Head of Girl n.d.

J. Aspinall's "Portrait Head of Girl" is a delicate pencil drawing of a young woman's face and shoulders, executed in the late 18th or early 19th century. The artist's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of volume and depth, capturing the girl's youthful features with remarkable detail. The drawing's subtle tones and precise rendering, combined with the artist's initials "J.W" in the lower right corner, exemplify the meticulous style of portraiture popular during this period. Now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, "Portrait Head of Girl" provides a fascinating glimpse into Aspinall's artistry and the aesthetic preferences of his time.
