Roman Head of Youth Drawing
This 5.75 x 8.5 inch tan paper, graphite and white charcoal drawing is of a marble statue that is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I love drawing these ancient, stone faces! The original artist simplified and idealized the head and its features according to what was their cultural taste. And modern me gets to experience a “fresh” opinion of a portrait.
