Classical Bust of a Bearded Male Seen in Profile 

This pencil drawing by Vincenzo Camuccini depicts a classical bust of a bearded male seen in profile, likely a study from an ancient Roman sculpture. The artist's keen eye for detail is evident in the subtle rendering of the man's features, particularly the textured beard and the folds of his toga. Camuccini, a prominent Italian Neoclassical artist, is known for his detailed and precise drawings, often incorporating elements of classical art and mythology. This drawing, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies Camuccini's mastery of line and his fascination with the aesthetic principles of antiquity.
