The Head of the Virgin in Three-Quarter View Facing Right
A female head is drawn in soft black chalk and charcoal, tilted downward with eyes lowered and the face turned to the right. Loose waves of hair frame the forehead and fall over the shoulder, with shading softening the cheeks and mouth on a pale, toned sheet.

Español: Cabeza de la Virgen en tres cuartos mirando a la derecha, dibujo
Una cabeza femenina está dibujada con tiza negra suave y carboncillo, inclinada hacia abajo con los ojos bajos y el rostro vuelto a la derecha. Ondas sueltas de cabello enmarcan la frente y caen sobre el hombro, y las sombras suavizan mejillas y boca sobre un papel pálido y tonal.
Português: Cabeça da Virgem em Three-Quarter à Direita, desenho
Uma cabeça feminina é desenhada com giz preto macio e carvão, inclinada para baixo com os olhos baixos e o rosto voltado para a direita. Ondas soltas de cabelo emolduram a testa e caem sobre o ombro, e as sombras suavizam as bochechas e a boca sobre um papel pálido e tonal.
