"Head of an Apostle Looking Downward" is a notable drawing by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1508 as a study for his later work, the Heller Altarpiece. This piece exemplifies Dürer's mastery in capturing human expression and his detailed approach to the study of human features, which was a hallmark of his work during this period.

The drawing is executed in charcoal on laid paper, a medium that allowed Dürer to achieve both delicate shading and strong, expressive lines. It depicts the head of an apostle, gazing downward with an intense and contemplative expression. The apostle's face is characterized by deep-set eyes, a furrowed brow, and a flowing beard, all of which are rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a profound understanding of human anatomy.

"Head of an Apostle Looking Downward" is considered an important work in Dürer's oeuvre as it showcases his preparatory process for larger compositions. The drawing not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also his intellectual engagement with the spiritual and emotional aspects of religious subjects. It is a prime example of the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on realism and individuality, even within the context of devotional art.

The drawing is held in the collection of the Graphische Sammlung in Munich, Germany, and remains an object of study for scholars interested in Dürer's technique and the development of Renaissance art in Northern Europe. It continues to captivate viewers with its lifelike representation and the emotional depth captured within the apostle's gaze.
