Head of a Man after 1848

This etching, titled "Head of a Man", was created by French artist Charles-Émile Jacque after 1848. Known for his depictions of rural life and animals, Jacque's "Head of a Man" focuses on a single figure, rendered in a detailed and realistic style. The subject, with his long hair and beard, appears to be a man of age and wisdom, possibly a member of the clergy. This small-scale work, measuring just over 3 inches in diameter, demonstrates Jacque's masterful use of line and shading to create a captivating portrait, showcasing his talent for both portraiture and landscape.
