Mannenkop met gesloten ogen 1759

"Mannenkop met gesloten ogen" (Head of a Man with Closed Eyes) is an etching by Danish artist Christian Bernhard Rode, created in 1759. The work depicts a close-up view of a man's head, with his eyes shut and his mouth slightly open, suggesting a moment of intense contemplation or perhaps suffering. Rode's meticulous detail in rendering the wrinkles and the beard gives the work a sense of realism. The etching is held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
