"Head of a Bearded Man, Looking to the Left 2" is an evocative and masterfully executed drawing by the Spanish Baroque painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Ribera, born in 1591 in Xàtiva, Spain, is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his unflinching depictions of human suffering and realism, which align him closely with the tenebrist style. This particular work exemplifies Ribera's skill in capturing the human condition through meticulous detail and expressive intensity.

The drawing portrays the head of an elderly man with a thick, flowing beard, turned slightly to the left. The man's face is etched with deep lines and furrows, suggesting a life of hardship and experience. His eyes, though partially obscured by the shadow cast from his brow, convey a sense of contemplation and introspection. Ribera's adept use of light and shadow not only highlights the rugged texture of the man's skin and beard but also imbues the portrait with a profound sense of depth and realism.

Ribera's technique in this drawing is indicative of his broader oeuvre, which often focused on the raw and unidealized aspects of humanity. His works were heavily influenced by Caravaggio, whose dramatic lighting and realistic approach to the human form left a lasting impact on Ribera's artistic development. "Head of a Bearded Man, Looking to the Left 2" is a testament to Ribera's ability to convey complex emotional states through simple yet powerful compositions.

This drawing is part of a series of studies and sketches that Ribera produced throughout his career, which were likely used as preparatory works for his larger paintings. These studies provide invaluable insight into Ribera's creative process and his meticulous attention to anatomical accuracy and expressive detail. Today, Ribera's works, including this drawing, are celebrated for their contribution to the Baroque movement and their enduring influence on subsequent generations of artists.
