Physiognomy Expressing Weakness and Affectation, after Schmutzer
A graphite drawing of a head in three-quarter profile, a young person with hair swept up under a loose cloth wrap and a slightly parted, smiling mouth. Soft shading models the cheek and neck, and the drapery at the shoulders is rendered in loose hatched lines against the aged, stained paper.
