A 15 minute conté crayon drawing, this image is focused on expression. For this particular expression, while at first glance the viewer may think it is shocked due to the eyebrow, the lack of expression in the mouth shows that this is not the case, and that this is a face that is authoritative, calm, slightly sarcastic, and says "Really?"
The focus on the expression is helped by the fact that the rest of the image is fairly low-detail, while still showing what form is being described. This tells the viewer that the low detail areas are less important, but still valid to help with the overall image.
The anatomy of the face is good, and the view works as a tilted 3/4 view, helped by the darker left side of the face and the dark outline where the hair starts.
