About this work
A head-and-shoulders portrait shows a round, heavy-cheeked face with eyes shut in apparent contentment or amusement, mouth curved in a broad smile; the figure wears a soft, puffed pale hat or cap streaked with pink and maroon, set against a completely dark background that isolates the head.
Warm flesh tones in ochre, salmon and rust are built up with loose charcoal and ink strokes and scumbled sauce washes, leaving visible scratchy hatching around the jaw and cap; the deep black surround and economical handling give the sketch an intimate, spontaneous character.
