"Head of a Man" is one of Vincent van Gogh’s earliest works, created during his formative years around 1881-1882. This Paper drawing likely started as a Sketch and study of a local resident, showcasing van Gogh’s dedication to understanding human expression. Using simple Chalk techniques, he explored portraiture through intense observation, laying the groundwork for his future Post-impressionism style. These early studies mark his transition from academic training in Brussels to a more personal, expressive approach that defined his artistic career.
