This drawing, "Head of Mary," is a silverpoint study by the renowned German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer. While the exact date is unknown, Dürer's characteristic attention to detail and realistic portrayal of the human form are evident in this work. The delicate lines of the silverpoint create a sense of depth and volume in Mary's face, while her closed eyes and serene expression evoke a sense of contemplation and piety. This drawing exemplifies Dürer's mastery of draftsmanship and his keen observation of human anatomy.
