"Portrait Sketch of the Head of a Young Man" is a notable work by the German painter Anton Raphael Mengs (1728–1779), who was a key figure in the early Neoclassical movement. This artwork is an example of Mengs's skill in capturing the delicacy and expressiveness of the human face, which was a hallmark of his portraiture. The piece is believed to have been created during the mid-18th century, a period when Mengs was actively engaged in producing both commissioned portraits and studies that reflected his interest in the ideals of beauty and form espoused by Neoclassicism.

The portrait sketch, executed in oil on canvas or panel, is characterized by its loose brushwork and the artist's attention to the play of light and shadow on the subject's features. Such sketches were often preparatory studies for larger, more detailed works, and they provided Mengs with the opportunity to explore the nuances of expression and anatomy without the constraints of a formal commission. The identity of the young man in the portrait is not definitively known, which adds an element of mystery to the work and reflects the practice of artists of the time creating studies of models, friends, or individuals of interest.

Mengs's work bridged the gap between the Baroque and Neoclassical styles, and his influence extended to his contemporaries and the next generation of artists. "Portrait Sketch of the Head of a Young Man" is a testament to Mengs's mastery of form and his contribution to the development of Neoclassical portraiture. The artwork is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical value, offering insight into the artistic processes and trends of the 18th century.

The portrait is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase European art from the period. It continues to be studied by art historians and scholars for its technique and place within Mengs's oeuvre and the broader context of European art history.
