Head in profile 1827

"Head in profile" is a graphite drawing on paper by Theodor Pelissier, created in 1827. The drawing depicts a close-up of a man's head in profile, showing detailed wrinkles and textures of the skin. Pelissier was known for his realistic portraits, often capturing the individual characteristics of his subjects. This drawing, currently housed in the Städel Museum, is a fine example of his skill in representing human form with precision and sensitivity.
