Study of a male head in profile, for Perseus in The Call of Perseus 

This chalk drawing by Edward Burne-Jones is a study for his painting, *The Call of Perseus.* The artwork depicts a male head in profile, likely the hero Perseus, with curly hair rendered in red chalk. The drawing exhibits the Pre-Raphaelite style, with a focus on detail and a romantic, idealized portrayal of the subject. Burne-Jones, known for his illustrative work, often used studies like this to refine his composition and figure drawing before creating his paintings.
