Associated Names
Alfred Bendiner

Artist, American, 1899 - 1964

The image is a sketch drawing on lightly colored paper displaying studies of a head and facial elements. In the upper right corner is a side profile of a person's head with defined lines. The facial features, like eyes, nose, and mouth, are visible, and the hair is textured for volume and style. In the lower left, there is an upside-down partial sketch of a head with similar characteristics, including thick eyebrows and textured hair. Above it, a small circular outline encloses a detailed sketch focusing on the eyebrows and eye. Below the right profile, there is a small darkly shaded area resembling an abstract shape or another facial feature detail. The background shows the paper texture, with creases suggesting fold marks and slight discoloration. The sketch solely focuses on facial and head studies, with no indication of clothing, jewelry, or objects.
