Two Views of a Horse's Head; the Head of a Bearded Man in Profile 1550 - 1600

This anonymous drawing from the 16th century, titled "Two Views of a Horse's Head; the Head of a Bearded Man in Profile," features three distinct subjects. The left side showcases a detailed horse head study, while the right side features two sketches of the head of a bearded man in profile. The artist's style, evident in the hatching and contour lines, indicates a focus on anatomical detail and a realistic representation of the subjects. This work, currently residing in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of form through careful observation.
