Study of the Head of an Old Man

Vladimir Egorovic Makovskij

Cleveland Museum of Art

The oil painting depicts a middle-aged man with a long, gray beard and balding head of hair. He wears a dark-colored suit jacket with a white necktie or collar visible at the top. The man's facial features are prominent, with deep-set eyes, a large nose, and a serious expression. The background of the painting is dark brown. The subject appears to be looking directly at the viewer.
