Koppen van een man met een muts c. 1765 - 1775

This pencil sketch by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, titled "Koppen van een man met een muts," is a study of a man's head wearing a hat. It is a characteristic example of Fragonard's preliminary sketches for larger works, showcasing his masterful ability to capture the essence of his subjects through quick and expressive lines. While the details are minimal, the artist's attention to the form of the face and the shape of the hat suggests a deliberate composition, hinting at Fragonard's keen understanding of both human anatomy and visual harmony. The drawing, created around 1765-1775, is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and offers a rare glimpse into the creative process of one of the most celebrated French Rococo artists.
