THE YOUNG DRAUGHTSMAN.

 old Jamaica girl (Fig. 7, e)* 



FIG. 7. 



The introduction of other features, more especially ears and 

 hair, must, according to my observations, be looked on as occa- 

 sional only, and as a mark of an advance to a more naturalistic 

 treatment. Differences of treatment occur here too. Thus the ears, 

 which are apt to be absurdly large, are now inserted inside the 

 head circle, now outside it. The 

 hair appears now as a dark cap 

 of horizontal strokes, now as a 

 kind of stunted fringe, now as 

 a bundle or wisp on one side, 

 which may either fall or stand 

 on end (see Fig. 7, d, and the 

 accompanying drawing by a 

 girl of nearly four, Fig. 8, a). 

 These methods of representa- 

 tion are occasionally varied by 

 a more elaborate line device, as 

 a curly looped line similar to FIG. 8. 



* It is possible that in this drawing the two short lines added to the mouth are an 

 original attempt to give the teeth.
