"Studie zu einem Knabenkopf" (Study for a Boy's Head) is an oil painting by Austrian artist Friedrich von Amerling (1803-1887). This unfinished study depicts a boy's head turned to the side with a simple background. The painting highlights Amerling's skill in capturing the delicate features of the boy's face and emphasizes the study's focus on naturalistic representation of the human form. The piece is likely a preliminary sketch for a larger portrait, demonstrating Amerling's artistic process and exploration of detail.
