"Hovedet af en klovn (?)" is a charcoal drawing by the French artist Othon Friesz, created between 1908 and 1909. The small-scale work, measuring 112 mm by 31 mm, is a study in expressive line and form. The drawing depicts the head of a clown, the figure is distorted and fragmented, with exaggerated features, emphasizing the subject's clownish character. Friesz's bold strokes and simplified forms convey a sense of movement and energy, reflecting the artist's exploration of Fauvist principles. The drawing is a powerful example of Friesz's ability to capture the essence of a subject through simplified forms and expressive line. This work can be seen at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
