- Synopsis
- This is a black chalk drawing (1525-1528) by Michelangelo. This is a very detailed drawing of a beautiful woman who is wearing a very elaborate, close-fitting headdress. It is a left-hand side profile of the woman, who is looking towards to left of the drawing. Her fine features are clearly defined along the close-fitting headdress and her long thick wavy hair that flows from underneath the headdress, forming a distinctive hairstyle. This hairstyle has a long plait of hair that forms a loop from her temple to the back of her neck. The headdress has a strap under her chin and straps across her forehead and top of her head. The main part of the headdress looks as if it is made of overlapping scales with some sort of ram's horn decoration on the top. Braille labels are as follows: hair, plait, neck, headdress, ram's horn shape, forehead strap, chin strap, eye, nose, lips, and chin.
