Hoofd van een mannelijk model, over de schouder kijkend 1770 - 1825

This drawing by Simon Andreas Krausz, dating from 1770 - 1825, depicts the head of a male model looking over his shoulder. Rendered in sanguine, a red chalk drawing medium, it is a study in anatomical precision, capturing the subtle nuances of the subject's face. The artist's use of shading highlights the contours of the model's head, emphasizing its three-dimensionality. The drawing likely served as a preparatory study for a larger work, showcasing Krausz's skill in capturing the human form. The work exemplifies the practice of academic drawing, where the artist meticulously explores anatomy and form.
