Head of a Bearded Man

Édouard Vuillard, 1889

The image shows a close-up of a person's head and upper shoulders viewed in profile, facing to the right. The person is depicted with their head slightly bowed, and they have short to mid-length hair that appears to be slicked back, revealing their ear. The facial features are softly outlined, with a discernible ear, nose, and a hint of a beard. The person's clothing is dark and blends into the equally dark background. The background has a greyish-blue hue and a loose texture. There are no visible jewelry pieces or other objects in the image.
