"Brustbild eines Mannes mit Mütze und langem Haar im Dreiviertelprofil nach links" is a red chalk drawing by Johann Melchior Roos, a renowned German Baroque artist, created around 1683. The drawing features a man with long hair and a cap, his face turned slightly towards the left, creating a three-quarter profile. Roos, known for his expressive portraits, uses a loose and dynamic hatching technique to convey the subject's features. This drawing, now housed in the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into the artist's masterful portrayal of human form and his ability to capture individual character through nuanced lines and shadows.
