Studien für „Gassed“

John Singer Sargent, 1918–1919

This drawing depicts six different views of a person's head and upper shoulders. Each view shows the head turned at varying angles with the individual wearing a band around their eyes, functioning as a blindfold. The band is tied at the back of the head, displacing some strands of hair. The person's hairstyle is short and neat, with varying levels of detail in different sketches. The artwork is in a monochrome style, likely using pencil or charcoal, emphasizing shadows for a realistic portrayal. The background is a simple neutral tone without any additional elements.
