"Head of a Negro" is a watercolor painting by Joseph Crawhall II (1861–1913), a British artist known for his distinct style and contribution to the Glasgow Boys group of painters. The artwork is notable for its subject matter and the technique employed by Crawhall, who was celebrated for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with minimal brushstrokes and a keen eye for detail.

The painting depicts the head of a black man, rendered with sensitivity and a focus on capturing the individual's character. The work is a reflection of Crawhall's interest in portraiture and his skill in watercolor, a medium in which he excelled. "Head of a Negro" is characteristic of Crawhall's later works, where he often portrayed animals and people with an economy of line and color that conveyed a sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

Joseph Crawhall's contribution to the Glasgow Boys movement was significant, as the group sought to challenge the conventions of Victorian art by embracing naturalism and realism, often focusing on rural and urban life. "Head of a Negro" exemplifies Crawhall's departure from the more elaborate and detailed Victorian style, showcasing his modern approach to painting and his ability to evoke emotion and personality through his art.

The painting is also an example of the broader interest in ethnographic and exotic subjects among European artists during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This interest was partly fueled by colonial expansion and the increased contact between Europe and diverse cultures around the world. Crawhall's work, including "Head of a Negro," can be seen within this context, as it reflects both the artistic trends of the time and the artist's personal exploration of form and color.

"Head of a Negro" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Joseph Crawhall and is appreciated for its artistic merit and the insight it provides into the artist's development and the cultural milieu of the period. The painting is held in a collection or museum, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
