Head of a Bearded Man, Looking Right 

This pencil drawing by Alexandre Bida, a French artist active in the 19th century, depicts the profile of a bearded man. Rendered in delicate lines, the work captures the subject's features with precision and focus on detail. The subject's gaze is directed towards the right, creating a sense of contemplation or introspection. The artist's masterful use of line and shading enhances the realistic portrayal of the man's face and beard. The drawing, executed on a sheet of paper measuring 14.8 x 10 cm, serves as a testament to Bida's skill in capturing the human form through the medium of drawing.
