Five Sketches of Heads n.d.

"Five Sketches of Heads" is a collection of five pen-and-ink drawings by the Scottish painter Samuel Drummond, created sometime during his career. The drawing is composed of five distinct heads in various poses and expressions, highlighting Drummond's skill in capturing the human form through simple yet precise lines. This artwork is a testament to the artist's practice of studying anatomy and developing his skills in portraiture. The sketches, likely preparatory studies for larger compositions, offer insight into Drummond's creative process and his interest in the nuances of human expression. The artwork, currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a small yet valuable example of Drummond's work.
