Man kijkt naar beneden 1771 - 1774

"Man kijkt naar beneden" is a drawing by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, created between 1771 and 1774. The work is a study of a man's head, with the subject's face obscured by a large, flowing beard, and his gaze directed downwards. Tiepolo's skillful use of hatching, a technique that uses parallel lines to create shading, emphasizes the texture of the hair and beard, and the deep folds on the man's face. This detail-focused approach is characteristic of Tiepolo's draftsmanship.
