'Head of a Woman', c1475. This is one of several drawings, including one on the reverse of this sheet, for the head of a nymph or Venus. Black chalk has been used softly to suggest the gentle shadows on her cheeks, while white chalk heightens the fall of light. Verrocchio was a sculptor as well as a painter, and his feeling for three-dimensional form is apparent here in the careful shading that creates a sense of volume. Her hair is thin and wispy and is drawn in rapid, thin strokes. When not in elaborate braided patterns and knots, it falls in curls over her shoulders. PD, 1895-9-15-785 (recto)
