"Study of a Dragon's Head after Michelangelo" is a drawing by John Ruskin, an influential 19th-century English art critic, draughtsman, watercolorist, and social thinker. Created as a homage to the Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti, Ruskin's work reflects his practice of studying the art of the great masters to understand their techniques and to improve his own skills in drawing and observation.

Ruskin was known for his passionate advocacy of drawing as a means of closely observing and understanding the world. His studies of works by artists like Michelangelo were part of his broader educational efforts, which he shared through his writings and lectures, to encourage both artists and the general public to engage with art in a more profound and analytical manner.

The drawing itself exemplifies Ruskin's meticulous attention to detail and his attempt to capture the essence of Michelangelo's style. It is likely that Ruskin's study focused on the expressive qualities of Michelangelo's dragon, emphasizing the creature's anatomy, the texture of its scales, and the play of light and shadow to bring the image to life.

As a piece of Ruskin's oeuvre, "Study of a Dragon's Head after Michelangelo" serves as an example of the Victorian era's reverence for the art of the Italian Renaissance and the period's educational practices in the arts. It also provides insight into Ruskin's artistic process and his commitment to art education. The drawing is of particular interest to scholars of Ruskin and those studying the reception of Renaissance art in the 19th century.

The work is occasionally referenced in discussions of Ruskin's artistic technique and his influence on the art world of his time. However, as a study piece rather than an original composition, it may not have been widely exhibited or discussed in the same manner as Ruskin's more original works or his critical writings.
