"Head of a Youth" is a graphite drawing by the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti. The drawing features a youthful, idealized figure in profile, capturing the artist's interest in beauty and Romanticism. The delicate lines and shading convey a sense of realism, while the subject's soft features and contemplative expression evoke a sense of longing. Rossetti's drawings often served as studies for larger paintings and were valued for their expressive quality. This drawing, like many of Rossetti's works, is known for its sensitive depiction of the human form and its exploration of themes of love, beauty, and mortality.
