About this work
An older bald man is shown from the chest up, turned in three-quarter view with his head tilted down and to the side. His face is deeply lined around the eyes, nose and mouth, and his bare shoulders and neck are rendered with the same attention as his features. The background is left plain, focusing attention on the head.
The drawing is built up in graphite with dense cross-hatching, creating soft shadows across the cheek, jaw and neck while the crown of the head is left almost bare and luminous. Tone moves gradually from dark to light without hard outlines, handled with careful academic control. The restrained grey scale and quiet pose give the study a calm, reflective feeling.
