Männerkopf 1890

Franz von Defregger's "Männerkopf" (1890) is a portrait painting of an older man with a long white beard. The subject's gaze is directed to the right, with his head slightly tilted. Defregger, a prominent Austrian painter known for his depictions of Tyrolean life, often employed a realistic style in his portraits. The artist's signature is prominently displayed in the top left corner of the painting, adding an element of authenticity to the piece. This painting captures the essence of a typical man of the time period with a focus on detail and a powerful sense of realism.
