Male head 1516

This drawing, "Male head," created by Hans Baldung in 1516, showcases the artist's masterful handling of line and detail. Baldung, a prominent German artist of the Renaissance, is known for his expressive portraits and masterful depictions of the human form. The drawing's focus on the subject's intense gaze and detailed rendering of facial features, including wrinkles and beard, suggests an interest in depicting both physical and emotional states. The work's stark realism and emotional intensity make it a powerful example of Baldung's artistic style and a testament to his skill as a draftsman.
