Study of a Head 

"Study of a Head" is a painting by Charles William Mitchell, a British artist known for his portraits and figure studies. The artwork captures a close-up view of a man's profile, highlighting his strong features and intense gaze. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts of light and shadow, creates a sense of depth and realism. This work, likely a preparatory study for a larger composition, exemplifies Mitchell's mastery of portraiture and his ability to depict the human form with remarkable accuracy and emotional depth.
