"Head of a Priest" is a drawing by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, created after 1760. This work, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, depicts a priest's head rendered in delicate strokes of graphite. The subject appears to be in prayer, his gaze directed upwards with a hint of piety. Piazzetta, a Venetian painter known for his dramatic chiaroscuro technique, utilized this approach even in his drawings, resulting in a work that captures both the physicality and the spiritual essence of his subject.
