Head Study #99

Tonight I present a colorized copy of a John Singer Sargent charcoal drawing of Myra Hess, a British pianist done in 1920.  And this time much larger then previous attempts, life sized.  In fact a little larger than life sized as it got away from me and I unintentionally made it bigger.

I come back to this picture every now and then because I have trouble with it.  I can't figure out why?  It doesn't seem complex.  Her hair style is simple.  I just can't get it right.  Paper: New York Central, 140 lbs, hot pressed, 15 x 22"
