The artwork, titled “Sketch of a Female Head,” was created by the artist George Romney and belongs to the Rococo art movement. It falls under the genre of “sketch and study,” showcasing the artist’s detailed exploration and practice in capturing the human form.
The artwork depicts a young woman with an elegant, soft expression, her head slightly tilted to the side. The delicate features of her face, framed by loosely styled curls, are meticulously rendered. The shading and texture highlight the contours of her face, while the unfinished background and parts of her attire emphasize the piece’s nature as a sketch. The colors are subtle yet expressive, with the warm tones of her skin contrasting against the darker, more muted background. Overall, the artwork exemplifies the Rococo movement’s characteristic elegance and attention to detail.
