Head and shoulder portrait of a bearded man with a feathered hat 1700 - 1766

This drawing, created by English artist Thomas Worlidge between 1700 and 1766, depicts a bearded man in a feathered hat. The work, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Worlidge's skill in capturing the delicate details of his subject's features and attire. The artist's masterful use of graphite creates a sense of depth and texture, particularly noticeable in the rendering of the man's beard and the intricate details of his hat. The piece's intimate scale, measuring just 124 mm in height and 101 mm in width, highlights the individual nature of this portrait.
