Man in profile 

This charcoal drawing titled "Man in profile" was created by Danish artist Carl Bloch, known for his historical and religious paintings. The drawing depicts a man with a thick beard and curly hair in profile, his gaze directed to the left. The artist’s use of charcoal creates a strong contrast between the dark lines of the figure and the lighter tones of the background, emphasizing the figure’s presence. The details of the man’s features suggest an emotional depth and an air of contemplation, inviting the viewer to consider the subject’s inner world.
