"Study of a Bearded Man in Profile" is a celebrated drawing by the Venetian artist Giovanni Battista Piazzetta (1682–1754). Known for his mastery in rendering the human figure with dramatic lighting and expressive realism, Piazzetta's work often reflects the Baroque sensibilities of his time, while also showcasing a distinct softness and approachability in his subjects. This particular study is an exquisite example of his skill in capturing the character and mood of a sitter through deft handling of chalk on paper.

The drawing features the profile of an elderly man with a full beard, his features meticulously detailed to emphasize the play of light and shadow on the contours of his face. The man's expression is contemplative and serene, indicative of Piazzetta's ability to convey complex emotions through his art. The use of sanguine chalk, a reddish-brown medium favored for its warm tones and versatility, adds to the lifelike quality of the portrait.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, "Study of a Bearded Man in Profile" is thought to have been produced during the height of Piazzetta's career in the 18th century, a period in which he was highly regarded for his contributions to the Rococo movement and for his influential role as a teacher. His drawings were often preparatory studies for larger compositions, but they also stand alone as works of art in their own right, admired for their technical proficiency and emotional depth.

The drawing is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the understanding of Piazzetta's working methods. It provides insight into the artist's process of character study and his exploration of light, form, and texture, which would inform his larger paintings. Today, "Study of a Bearded Man in Profile" is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike and is considered a fine representation of Piazzetta's draftsmanship and contribution to the Venetian tradition of portraiture.
