"Head of an Old Man in Profile to the Left (Bartsch 40)" is an evocative etching by the Dutch Golden Age artist Jan Lievens, created around 1630. Jan Lievens, a contemporary and close associate of Rembrandt van Rijn, is known for his masterful use of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the human condition with profound sensitivity. This particular work exemplifies Lievens' skill in rendering detailed and expressive portraits.

The etching depicts an elderly man in profile, facing left, with a deeply furrowed brow and a contemplative expression. The intricate lines and shading techniques employed by Lievens highlight the texture of the man's skin and the wisps of his hair, conveying a sense of age and wisdom. The use of light and shadow in the etching is particularly noteworthy, as it creates a dramatic contrast that enhances the depth and realism of the portrait.

"Head of an Old Man in Profile to the Left" is part of a broader tradition of portraiture in the Dutch Golden Age, where artists sought to capture the individuality and character of their subjects. Lievens' work in this period often focused on the human face, exploring a range of emotions and states of being. This etching is a testament to his ability to convey complex psychological states through subtle details and nuanced expressions.

The etching is cataloged as Bartsch 40, referring to its inclusion in the comprehensive catalog of old master prints compiled by Adam von Bartsch, an Austrian scholar and artist. This cataloging system is widely used by art historians and collectors to identify and reference works by European printmakers from the 15th to the 19th century.
