Head of a Man Wearing a Cap

Italienische Grafik 1395–1568, eind 15e eeuw

The image is a portrait of a person's face and part of their shoulders. The individual is in a slightly downward-facing pose, with their head tilted to one side. They have finely drawn facial features including eyes, a nose, and closed lips with a solemn expression. The person's hair is long and wavy, flowing past their ears. They are wearing a soft, textured cap that covers most of the top of their head and extends towards the back. The background is a plain, textured surface that complements the sepia tones of the portrait. No jewelry or objects are visible on the person.
