EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white drawing, titled "Head of a Young Woman" by American artist Eastman Johnson, dates back to the late 1870s. The nineteenth century work of art is a beautiful depiction of a young woman in profile, her expressive features drawn with expert use of charcoal heightened with white chalk on brown wove paper. The artist's mastery of chalk and charcoal techniques is evident in the intricate details of her textured hair, the delicate contours of her face, and the subtle shading that brings her features to life. Eastman Johnson (1824-1906) was an influential American painter and printmaker, known for his evocative portraits and genre scenes. This drawing is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects with sensitivity and nuance. The young woman's introspective expression invites the viewer to contemplate her thoughts and emotions, making this a timeless work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today. The "Head of a Young Woman" is a treasured addition to the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., where it is on display for visitors to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of American art from the nineteenth century. This drawing is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to connect us with the people and stories of the past.
