"Head of a Young Man" is one of Vincent van Gogh's earliest works created during 1881-1882, when he was in his late twenties. This sketch and study showcases Van Gogh’s developing skills with paper and chalk, capturing the facial features and expression of a young man. During this period, Van Gogh was exploring Realism, aiming for truthful representations rather than idealized images.
