Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

National Gallery of Art

The sketch depicts the upper half of a man's body in profile. The man has distinctive facial features with a pronounced nose, sharp jawline, and sideburns. His hair is curly and relatively short. The man is dressed in a coat with high collars and a shirt with a cravat. The drawing has a plain, light background. There are no visible objects held by the person. A signature and date written on the bottom right corner indicate "Ingres à Rome, 1812."
