Head Study #135

Tonight I present a colorized duotone of a John Singer Sargent charcoal drawing of Margaretta Drexel, Countess of Winchilsea and Nottingham, 1915.  Pretty fancy, huh?  As I was setting this up, I poorly estimated the height of the head and had to squich the width of the head in a bit.  I shouldn't have written anything and I probably would have gotten away with it.  The shininess of the hair, I think it came out okay.

Paper: Arches, 140 lbs, cold press, 15 x 22"
