Head of an Old Woman 1485 - 1547

Sebastiano del Piombo's "Head of an Old Woman" is a detailed pen and ink drawing created between 1485 and 1547. This artwork is a study of the human form, with the artist's meticulous use of hatching to create a lifelike depiction of the woman's aging face and its wrinkles. The drawing is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City and is a testament to del Piombo's skills as a draftsman.
