The Head of a Grotesque Man in Profile Facing Right 1500 - 1520

"The Head of a Grotesque Man in Profile Facing Right" is a silverpoint drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, created between 1500 and 1520. This drawing is a study for a more complex piece of art. The exaggerated features of the grotesque man are likely a reflection of da Vinci's interest in anatomical studies and the exploration of human expression. The silverpoint drawing is a delicate and precise medium, often used by da Vinci for his anatomical studies. This work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
