Studies of Men

Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze

National Gallery of Art

The image features sketches of a man's profile view and one frontal face view. The profiles progress from an outline to a detailed image, showing the man's facial features including a nose, chin, and hair. The completed profile sketch shows the man wearing a high-collared garment. A partial sketch of the man's face from a frontal view is also included. The sketches are done in pencil on textured off-white or beige paper.
