Portrait of an unknown man in three-quarter profile to the left 1500 - 1549

This anonymous 16th century drawing from the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst depicts an unknown man in a three-quarter profile. The sitter appears to be wearing a simple hat and dark clothing, which is depicted in a realistic, almost photographic style. The artist's detailed brushstrokes, particularly in the man's hair and clothing, suggest a focus on naturalism and realism, characteristics of the Northern Renaissance style.
