Three Head Studies
The drawing "Three Head Studies" by Albrecht Dürer depicts three men's heads in profile. The leftmost head is of a man with curly hair and a beard, shown in orange-red and blue colored pencil. The central head is of a man wearing a cap, also in orange-red and blue colored pencil. The rightmost head is of a man with a balding head and a long beard, rendered in orange-red and gray colored pencil. The heads are drawn on aged paper with a darker border around the edges. The paper has a yellowish-brown color with darker brown spots and lines throughout. The three heads are arranged side-by-side, taking up most of the page. The background behind the heads is minimal.
