Study of an Arab Head

Hubert von Herkomer

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head and part of the shoulders of an older man. The man's head is slightly tilted with a downward gaze. He has deeply set eyes, a prominent nose, a full beard and mustache, and textured hair and facial hair. He wears a cloth or turban around his head. The background is a simple, muted tone, and the artwork may be a sketch or etching.
