National Gallery of Art

The image contains four sketches of a man's head in different poses. Each sketch features the head and partial neck area from various angles. The top left sketch is a side profile showing the man's bald head and mustache. The top right sketch is a front-facing view with a beard and prominent brow. The bottom left sketch shows the head slightly inclined downward with closed eyes. The bottom right sketch, akin to the top left, features a side profile highlighting the beard and mustache. The sketches are rendered in graphite on a light beige background, maintaining a minimalist style without detailed clothing or surroundings.
