"Head of an Old Man" is a notable artwork by the French painter Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806), who is widely recognized for his prolific contributions to Rococo art with his exuberant and hedonistic style. This particular work, however, diverges from the light-hearted themes commonly associated with Fragonard, as it captures the visage of an elderly man in a more somber and reflective tone.

The painting is executed with the loose, expressive brushwork characteristic of Fragonard's later career, when he increasingly turned away from the frivolity of his earlier subjects to more introspective themes. "Head of an Old Man" is often noted for its psychological depth and the skillful rendering of the textures of the man's skin and hair, which convey a sense of the subject's lived experience and wisdom.

While the exact date of creation is not definitively known, the work is typically dated to the latter part of the 18th century, a period during which Fragonard's artistic output was becoming more personal and less driven by the demands of patrons. The identity of the old man is not recorded, leading to speculation that it could be a study from life, a character study for a larger composition, or a portrait of someone known to the artist.

"Head of an Old Man" is held in high esteem by art historians and critics for its emotional resonance and technical mastery. It serves as a poignant example of Fragonard's versatility and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The painting is part of a larger body of work that showcases the artist's adeptness beyond the playful and erotic subjects for which he is best known, offering a window into the more contemplative aspects of his oeuvre.

The artwork remains an important piece for the study of Fragonard's work and the transition in his artistic focus during the later stages of his career. It continues to be exhibited and studied as an example of the artist's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the development of modern artistic sensibilities regarding the portrayal of age and character.
