Head Of A Man 1865

"Head of a Man" is a portrait by Paul Cézanne, painted in 1865. This work exemplifies Cézanne's early style, influenced by Realism and Impressionism. The painting features a man with a dark mustache and a white collar, his face depicted in a simplified and somewhat distorted manner. The thick brushstrokes and the use of color, particularly the dark background, create a sense of depth and volume. Cézanne's exploration of form and the way he captures the essence of his subject is evident in this work, paving the way for his later innovations in post-impressionism.
