Profile Head and Shoulders of a Man
Right-facing bust study in brown ink
The sheet shows the head and shoulders of a man in right profile, drawn in brown ink with a light, sketchy touch. He has short hair combed forward over a rounded brow, a fleshy nose and heavy jaw, and a garment is indicated by loose contour lines across the shoulder and chest. Parts of the ink have faded, leaving the modelling of the face faint.

Bust of a man in right profile
A man is seen from the side, his head turned right and set on broad shoulders wrapped in a loosely drawn garment. The hair falls forward across the forehead, and the ear, nose and jaw are built up with soft contours. The faded, economical line gives the study the look of a rapid life sketch.
