Four studies of a child’s head
1680 - 1690. Black chalk, Red chalk, Touches of white chalk on laid paper.Not on display
Four studies of a child’s head is made up of three different drawings attached to a single sheet. One drawing depicts two heads in the upper part, while the two others underneath have been executed on different coloured papers. The model, technique and type of paper of the drawing in the lower right corner are related to another drawing held in the Museo del Prado, Head of a Child (D000190). However, the head in the lower right corner is closer in style to that of José Donoso.
