Improper title

[edit]

Hello, There is no objective element which could let think this is a study od Mrs Dehodencq's head. On the contrary, I am personnally sure it is not Mrs Dehodencq, because there is no resemblance with any of the portraits or studies Dehodencq made of his wife, whatever her age. This drawing would be more likely a study for the painting "la mariée juive" which is at the Lille museum: it is probably a study for one of the characters who is also on this study: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dehodencq_A._-_Graphite_-_Etude_de_personnages_enturbann%C3%A9s_-_18.5x23.5cm.jpg These characters are may be eunuchs (so "men", not women).
