Head of a Bearded Man in a Broad Hat
Red-chalk study of an old man with a furrowed brow
A red-chalk head of an elderly bearded man seen frontally, wearing a wide soft hat or cap that frames the face in a rounded silhouette. The heavy brows are drawn together over deep-set, staring eyes, and a full beard falls toward the collar; the shoulders are only lightly indicated. A collector's stamp sits at the lower-right corner of the sheet.

Frontal head of a bearded old man
The old man's face is fully modelled in red chalk, with knitted brows, a strong nose and a broad beard rendered in fine parallel strokes. A wide brimmed hat or cap encircles the head, its underside shaded to set off the features. The expression is intent and slightly frowning.
