A bust-length ink portrait of a woman in left-facing profile — the hair cut in a smooth, rounded bob that is the composition's most architecturally precise element. The bob falls to just below the jaw, the outer silhouette of the hair described as a single clean arc from crown to chin-level, the interior of the hair suggested with a few following lines. It has the quality of a hairstyle studied for its own geometric interest.
The face in profile beneath the bob is drawn with the ink's characteristic finality: the brow, the eye with its heavy lid and lower lash, the nose with its slight projection, the lips barely parted. The chin and jaw complete the profile. Below the face the neck transitions into a loosely indicated collar and shoulder, the composition dissolving at the lower edge.
The ink line throughout is lighter and more searching than the confident broad strokes of 1343 and 1344 — this is a finer pen or more tentative application, the marks thinner and less declarative. The profile of the hair's outer edge is the most confident line in the drawing; the face beneath it more exploratory.
The bob hairstyle connects this portrait to a broader observation about the figure sequence — Sidney drew what was in front of him, and what was in front of him in different decades had different silhouettes. The bob is a specific era, a specific style, and Sidney captured it with the precision he brought to every observed form.
