| Description |
In the last two decades of his life, Menzel executed numerous studies of heads of models. Here tonal gradations, from velvety blacks to the palest gray, create a rich effect. The immediacy of the image-the illuminated profile with a mouth slightly open-suggests how the artist captured a fleeting moment. Such drawings are, as the artist wrote, "true to nature" without "being copied from nature with fearful exactitude." |
