Head of a Man c. 1754 - 1765

This simple yet expressive charcoal drawing, "Head of a Man," was created by French artist Hubert Robert sometime between 1754 and 1765. The drawing captures the essence of a man's face, highlighting the artist's skill in portraying subtle details like the individual's features and the texture of their hair. While the identity of the subject remains unknown, the work showcases Robert's early talent for capturing likeness and conveying emotion. The drawing's small size and minimal detail suggest it may have been a preparatory sketch for a larger painting.
