"Étude de tête d'homme barbu" is a drawing by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (1780–1867), renowned for his meticulous draftsmanship and portraits. This study, which translates to "Study of the Head of a Bearded Man" in English, exemplifies Ingres's skill in capturing the human form with precision and clarity. The work is believed to be a preparatory sketch, showcasing Ingres's practice of rigorously studying the details of his subjects before committing them to his more formal and finished works.

The drawing is executed with fine lines, likely in graphite or black chalk, mediums favored by Ingres for their ability to render subtle gradations of tone and texture. The bearded man's expression is rendered with a high degree of realism, reflecting Ingres's classical training and his focus on the idealization of form. The precise date of the drawing is not well-documented, but it is consistent with the style and technique of Ingres's work during the early to mid-19th century.

"Étude de tête d'homme barbu" is representative of the academic practice of the time, where artists were encouraged to master the human anatomy through life drawing sessions and studies of classical sculptures. Ingres, a student of Jacques-Louis David and a contemporary of artists such as Eugène Delacroix, was a pivotal figure in the transition from Neoclassicism to Romanticism, and his works often reflect the tension between these two movements.

The drawing is of particular interest to scholars and admirers of Ingres for its demonstration of the artist's process and his unwavering commitment to the art of drawing as the foundation of all visual arts. While the specific provenance and current location of "Étude de tête d'homme barbu" may not be widely known, it remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Ingres, offering insight into the artist's meticulous technique and his contribution to the art of portraiture.
