Tête de jeune fille Cézanne didn’t show a particular interest in etchings. However, he was spurred on by Pissarro, Guillaumin and Dr. Gachet, so Cézanne would end up producing a series of five etchings. This fourth representation, depicting a young girl’s head, is undoubtedly the more interesting one. It was engraved in September 1873 based on a drawing of a girl from the Auvers region, possibly preparatory for the etching. The face is depicted from the front. The background is made so that two different shades can be seen. The volumes are balanced and the intensity of the girl's gaze shines through. The treatment itself allows us to glimpse a greater interest by the artist in the possibilities that this new technique could offer him than in his first trials. Cézanne produced multiple proofs of this subject. This version is part of the second group, which was printed in ochre shades for Vollard's book on Cézanne.
