Sketch of a Heads after Giambologna's Neptune Fountain

Christophe Veyrier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch of a human head drawn in pencil on aged paper. The head is positioned with the chin tilted up and to the right. The subject has curly hair and appears to have a rounded face with a double chin. The head is shaded with varying degrees of darkness, with darker shading around the eyes and lighter shading on the forehead and cheeks. The paper is off-white with brown spots and a rough, uneven edge. The sketch appears to be a study or preparatory work, with faint lines and marks visible in the background.
