Bust of a Bearded Man Looking Up

John Flaxman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a man's head and upper shoulders. The man is facing left with his face slightly angled upward. He has a prominent nose, well-defined beard, and long flowing hair with waves falling around the shoulders. The sketch emphasizes detail on the head and hair, with minimal lines suggesting clothing. The background is plain with crosshatch shading, and there are no visible jewelry or objects in the image.
