Studie van een manshoofd met helm, driekwart, naar links 1696 - 1765

"Studie van een manshoofd met helm, driekwart, naar links," is a red chalk drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Walraven, created between 1696 and 1765. This detailed study showcases a man's head, turned three-quarters to the left, wearing a helmet with a visor. The drawing, executed with precise lines and subtle shading, demonstrates Walraven's mastery of anatomical accuracy and his ability to capture the subtle nuances of light and shadow. This study, likely a preparatory work for a larger composition, reflects the artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age, where realism and meticulous detail were highly valued.
