Head of a woman, phrenological diagram of musical ability

A bald, outlined ink drawing of a woman's head and neck on a pale cream ground, shown frontally with wide eyes, a small nose, and closed lips. The sparse single-line contour, with no shading, gives it the look of a schematic diagram rather than a portrait.
