Head of a Woman (Theresa Turner)
John Flaxman, primarily known as a sculptor, applied his chisel-like precision to paper to sketch his wife, Theresa Turner. The profile view mimics the look of a classical Roman coin or cameo, a hallmark of the Neoclassical style he championed. Those tight ringlets and the braided bun aren't just fashion; they're a study in geometric perfection that makes her look like a goddess frozen in time.
