Head of a Man 1875 - 1880

"Head of a Man" is a charcoal drawing by American artist John Singer Sargent, created between 1875 and 1880. Sargent, known for his portraits and figure paintings, captures a moment of introspection in this work. The subject's head is depicted in profile, with a thoughtful expression, their eyes closed and their gaze directed downward. The use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and shadow, highlighting the contours of the face and the texture of the subject's clothing.
