Pencil drawing on grey-green paper of a young girl's face in a loose hood, turned three-quarters, with soft shading and faint outlines.

Beggar Girl in Rome, pencil study by Daniel Huntington

A pencil study on grey-green paper shows a young girl's face in three-quarter view, her head wrapped in a loose hood or shawl. Soft shading models the cheeks, nose and downcast eyes, while faint outlines suggest the cloth framing her face; an inscription appears at lower right.
