Profile of a Man in a Soft Cap
Bust portrait in profile facing left, drawn in reddish ink and chalk
A carefully modelled bust portrait of a middle-aged man seen in strict left profile, his head crowned by a soft, full cap and his hair falling to the nape. The face is built up with dense parallel hatching that describes the prominent nose, heavy lids, and firm mouth, while the collar of the garment is only lightly indicated below. Faint traces at the right edge appear to be offset from another sheet and are not transcribed here.

Profile head of a man in a cap
The man is shown in pure profile facing left, his features rendered with fine, closely ruled hatching that gives weight to the nose, cheek, and jaw. A soft flat cap covers the crown and the hair sweeps down behind the ear to the shoulder. The lightly drawn collar and shoulder at lower center anchor the head as a finished portrait study.
