Twee hoofden van soldaten en hoofd van een oude man 1668 - 1672

"Twee hoofden van soldaten en hoofd van een oude man" (Two Heads of Soldiers and Head of an Old Man), a red chalk drawing by Gerard de Lairesse, features three detailed head studies. Executed between 1668 and 1672, it showcases the artist's mastery of anatomical detail. The two soldier's heads, depicted in profile, are both wearing helmets, while the aged face below is rendered with expressive wrinkles and a thick beard. This drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Lairesse's meticulous approach to capturing human form.
