Head of a girl, in profile, print, printmaker: Philip Zilcken (signed by artist), 1867 - 1890, paper, drypoint, intaglio printmaking technique, drypoint on zinc, with plate tone, height 188 mm x width 124 mm, adolescent, young woman, maiden, A sepia-toned pencil drawing shows the left-facing profile of a young person with a slender nose, closed lips, and a softly contoured jawline. Their hair is drawn with fine, flowing lines, framing the forehead and temple before gathering into a dark, textured braid that hangs down along the neck. Light sketch lines suggest the ear and the back of the head, while subtle shading defines the cheek and eye socket. The background is plain and textured, with faint stray pencil marks and a small loose curl of hair depicted below the chin.
