Two studies of heads 1735

"Two Studies of Heads" is a drawing by Anne Claude Philippe Caylus from 1735. The artwork features two quick sketches of male heads, one wearing a turban and the other with a short beard. Caylus was a French aristocrat known for his collecting and artistic pursuits, and his drawings often depict real people, as may be the case here. This drawing, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into Caylus's artistic style and his interest in capturing the human form through quick and expressive lines.
