Study of a Man [verso]

Théodore Gericault

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a drawing of a man's head and shoulders facing towards the left. His facial features are visible, such as deep-set eyes, a straight nose, and a defined jawline. He has short, slightly wavy hair. The man appears to be wearing a draped garment with soft, rounded folds near his shoulders. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a plain, lightly shaded surface with sketched lines and markings, giving an unfinished appearance.
