"Head of an Old Man Holding a Pair of Eyeglasses" is a drawing attributed to the Italian artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (1696–1770). Known for his grandiose and vibrant frescoes, Tiepolo was also a master draftsman, and his drawings are highly regarded for their expressiveness and technical skill. This particular work is executed in pen and brown ink with brown wash over black chalk on paper, a medium that Tiepolo often employed for its ability to capture both fine detail and dynamic shading.

The drawing depicts the head of an elderly man as he looks downward, holding a pair of eyeglasses in his right hand. The subject's face is rendered with delicate lines that convey the textures of aged skin and the softness of his white hair and beard. The glasses, a symbol of wisdom and age, are drawn with careful attention to their form and the way they catch the light. The man's expression is contemplative and serene, suggesting a moment of introspection or a pause in reading.

While the exact date of creation is not known, the drawing is typically dated to the mid-18th century, during the period when Tiepolo was active in creating both religious and secular works for patrons across Europe. The drawing's provenance is not fully documented, but it has been part of various private and public collections over the years.

"Head of an Old Man Holding a Pair of Eyeglasses" is a fine example of Tiepolo's skill in capturing the human condition and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of dignity and emotion. The work is often studied in the context of Tiepolo's preparatory studies for larger compositions, although it is not known if this particular drawing was intended as a study or as a standalone piece. The drawing is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike, and it contributes to our understanding of Tiepolo's oeuvre and the broader context of 18th-century Venetian art.
