Hoofd van man met krullend haar, naar links 1530 - 1535

This drawing, created between 1530 and 1535, depicts a man’s head in profile by Italian artist Domenico Beccafumi. The drawing shows a study in chiaroscuro, a technique of contrasting light and shadow, and the viewer's attention is drawn to the man's intensely expressive eyes. The artist uses bold strokes to create a dynamic composition, and the man's curly hair and beard contribute to a powerful and expressive portrait. The drawing is held at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and it is a testament to Beccafumi’s skill as a draftsman.
