Head of a Woman Looking to Upper Left., 1590–1600, Charcoal, highlighted with white chalk, on blue paper faded light- brown, sheet: 16 15/16 x 14 1/16 in. (43 x 35.7 cm), Drawings, Attributed to Annibale Carracci (Italian, Bologna 1560–1609 Rome), or, less likely, Ludovico Carracci (Italian, Bologna 1555–1619 Bologna), Reminiscent of an ancient Roman sculpture, this arresting depiction of a monumental female head has been attributed on sound grounds to Annibale Carracci, by whom other similar drawings are known. Although no such figure is found in any of Annibale's paintings, the classicizing, idealized facial type recalls his frescoes in the Palazzo Farnese in Rome
