Female Head (with Blue Gems)

A delicate ink drawing on Strathmore paper, this work exemplifies Warhol's early illustrative style with its graceful, blotted lines depicting a feminine face adorned with decorative blue gems. The minimalist composition reflects his background in commercial illustration, where elegance and simplicity converged to create an image that feels both fashionable and timeless. The subtle adornment of blue gems adds a touch of glamour and color, hinting at the bold decorative sensibility that would later define his iconic pop art career.
