Porträt eines Mannes mit geschlossenen Augen im Profil nach links 

This charcoal drawing by Francesco Vanni depicts a man's profile in a contemplative state with eyes closed. The meticulous shading technique, typical of the artist's style, highlights the subject's facial features and creates a sense of depth. The artwork, housed in the Städel Museum, exemplifies Vanni's expertise in portraiture and his ability to capture the essence of human expression through subtle details. While the drawing may be a preparatory study for a larger work, its powerful simplicity and the artist's skill render it a significant work in its own right.
