Profile of a Man

Lombard 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

The image shows the head and shoulders of a person in profile facing left. The person has a strong nose, prominent lips, and their features are depicted in a heavy, shadowed style. The hair is covered by a textured hat, and they wear simple clothing with a textured appearance. The background is shaded with closely drawn lines but lacks any discernible objects. No jewelry is visible, and the focus is on the person's facial features.
