Brustbild eines nach unten blickenden jungen Mannes nach links 

This red chalk drawing by the Italian artist Francesco Vanni depicts a young man’s head and shoulders. The man, seen from the chest up, gazes down and to the left. His posture, and particularly the detail of his hand holding his elbow, could be interpreted as a gesture of contemplation or sorrow. The loose lines and the visible hatching in the drawing suggest a preliminary study for a larger work. The drawing is housed in the Städel Museum.
