This anonymous drawing, titled "Head of a Man in Three-quarters Profile," is a striking example of Renaissance portraiture. The artwork, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artist's skillful use of line to capture the subject's likeness. The man's features are rendered with precision, highlighting his contemplative gaze and the subtle contours of his face. The drawing's small size and the delicate lines suggest it may have been a study for a larger work.
