Bust of a young man turned to the left 1548 - 1612

This delicate drawing by Bernardino Poccetti, titled "Bust of a young man turned to the left," exemplifies the artist's mastery of draftsmanship. Created between 1548 and 1612, the piece is a study in portraiture, focusing on the subtle contours of the young man's face and the fall of his clothing. The work is housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcasing the artist's contribution to the Italian Renaissance art scene. The use of charcoal and the emphasis on light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism, making it a compelling example of Renaissance portraiture.
