Profile of a Man

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a pencil sketch of a man's profile, depicting his head and shoulders. The man is facing left, with a straight nose, slightly full lips, a pronounced jawline with sideburns, and glasses low on his nose. His hair has a receding hairline with curls at the top. He is wearing a collared garment, possibly a jacket over a high-collared shirt. The background shows faint handwritten notes and numbers on the sheet around the sketch. There are no additional objects in the image.
