Head of a Man with a Cap

Italian 16th Century, after Domenico Ghirlandaio

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a bust-length portrait of a person. They are shown from the shoulders up, in a three-quarter position facing the right side of the image. The individual has softly defined facial features with a pronounced nose and a contemplative expression. Their hair, which is medium-length and slightly wavy, extends to their neck and is covered by a head covering that blends with the hairstyle. The person is dressed in a garment that covers up to the neckline, resembling a robe or coat with simple lines. There is no visible jewelry or objects in the person's hands. The background is a simple, textured surface.
