Study Head of a Bearded Man

A bearded man with wild, curling grey hair looks upward in profile against a dark background, his mouth slightly open. A tawny, golden drape falls over his bare shoulder, and the warm, fleshy modelling of the face and chest suggests a figure study in oil on panel.

Español: Estudio de cabeza de un hombre barbudo de perfil

Un hombre barbudo, de cabello gris y rizado, mira hacia arriba en perfil sobre un fondo oscuro, con la boca ligeramente abierta. Una tela dorada y leonada cae sobre su hombro desnudo, y el modelado cálido de su rostro y pecho sugiere un estudio de figura en óleo sobre tabla.

Um homem barbudo, de cabelos grisalhos e cacheados, olha para cima em perfil contra um fundo escuro, com a boca levemente aberta. Um manto dourado e acastanhado cai sobre o ombro nu, e a modelagem quente do rosto e do peito sugere um estudo de figura em óleo sobre painel.
