Grotesque Profile of an Old Man
A caricatural aged head in profile with heavy brow, hooked nose, sunken mouth and jutting chin
The sheet is filled by a single grotesque head of an old man seen in profile facing right, drawn in pen and ink. The features are pushed toward caricature: an overhanging brow, a large hooked nose, a collapsed toothless mouth and a heavily projecting chin, framed by wispy hair and stubble. Fine hatching models the wrinkled skin and slack flesh. No text accompanies the drawing.

Caricatured head of an old man in profile
An aged male head faces right, its bony features exaggerated into caricature. The deep-set eye sits beneath a jutting brow, the hooked nose overhangs a sunken lipless mouth, and the upturned chin thrusts toward the nose. Dense hatching describes the wrinkled cheek, straggling beard and thin hair.
