A watercolor study of the head of Michelangelo’s David bust is rendered in earth tones on a textured paper surface. The central subject is the head and neck of the classical male sculpture, shown from a three-quarter view facing toward the right. Voluminous, curly hair is depicted with layered washes of sepia and burnt sienna, defining thick locks through varying paint concentrations and dark outlines. The face features a pronounced brow, a deep-set eye on the right, and a straight nose that casts a dark shadow across the left cheek and upper lip. The chin and jawline are well-defined, with a prominent shadow on the neck beneath the jaw. Light enters the scene from the upper right, leaving large portions of the right forehead, cheek, and nose as the unpainted cream-white of the paper to represent bright highlights. The background consists of the same textured paper, accented with light, broad washes of pale beige that loosely follow the silhouette of the head. The artistic style is a gestural watercolor sketch, utilizing a limited palette of warm browns and ochres with subtle cool-toned shadows in the deepest crevices. The composition focuses entirely on the bust, centered within the frame, with the lower neck fading into the bottom of the page.
