"Head of an Old Man" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in the early 16th century. This drawing exemplifies Dürer's mastery in capturing human expression and his detailed approach to portraiture. Although the exact date of creation is uncertain, it is believed to have been produced around 1521, a period when Dürer was actively engaged in studying human physiognomy and character.

The artwork is executed in charcoal on paper, a medium that allowed Dürer to achieve both fine detail and subtle gradations of tone. "Head of an Old Man" is characterized by its lifelike representation and the intricate rendering of the subject's aged features, including wrinkles, sagging skin, and a furrowed brow, which convey a sense of wisdom and experience. The subject's gaze is often noted for its intensity and the sense of introspection it evokes, suggesting a psychological depth that was innovative for its time.

"Head of an Old Man" is not only a testament to Dürer's technical skill but also reflects the humanist interests of the Renaissance period, where artists sought to explore the individuality and inner life of their subjects. The work is frequently discussed in the context of Dürer's broader oeuvre, which includes a wide range of artistic endeavors such as paintings, engravings, and theoretical treatises on art.

The drawing is held in high esteem by art historians and is often included in discussions of Dürer's contributions to the development of portraiture. It is housed in a prominent museum collection, allowing scholars and the public to appreciate its historical significance and the artist's influence on subsequent generations of portraitists.

As a piece that exemplifies the transition from the medieval to the modern in its approach to individual representation, "Head of an Old Man" remains an important work for understanding the evolution of European art and the enduring legacy of Albrecht Dürer.
