Männlicher Studienkopf eines Arabers 1851

Wilhelm Gentz's "Männlicher Studienkopf eines Arabers" (1851) is a graphite drawing depicting a study of an Arab man's head. The artwork captures the subject's weathered features, long beard, and traditional headwear in meticulous detail. The drawing is a testament to Gentz's skill in capturing likeness and conveying texture through subtle shading. This work showcases the artist's interest in observing and recording human subjects from diverse cultures during his travels. The drawing, now housed at the Städel Museum, offers a glimpse into 19th-century portraiture and the artist's keen eye for detail.
