"Child's Head" is a silverpoint drawing created by Albrecht Dürer in 1506. Now in the Louvre Museum in Paris, the work is a study of the human form and its delicate features. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the finely rendered lines that capture the child's soft skin, expressive eyes, and wispy hair. This drawing is a testament to Dürer's mastery of this medium, and it is a powerful reminder of the beauty and vulnerability of childhood.
