Head of a Bearded Man 1513 - 1524

This woodcut print by Hans Baldung, created between 1513 and 1524, showcases a close-up portrait of a bearded man's head in profile. The detailed rendering of the man's face, particularly his intricate beard, exemplifies Baldung's skill in capturing human anatomy and expression. The use of bold lines and hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, highlighting the individual's weathered features and adding a touch of realism to the composition. This work is a fine example of the German Renaissance style, showcasing the artist's interest in human portraiture and anatomical studies.
