Painting Description
"Profil d'homme," also known as "Head of a Man" or "Testa di Profilo," is a drawing attributed to the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), who was a leading figure of the Italian Renaissance. This artwork is notable for its demonstration of Leonardo's meticulous attention to human anatomy and his mastery of depicting the human form with lifelike precision and psychological depth.
The drawing, executed in pen and ink on paper, features the profile of a male figure and is believed to have been created during the period when Leonardo was actively engaged in anatomical studies and portraiture. It showcases his use of sfumato—a technique of soft, gradual transitions between tones and colors, which he also employed in his paintings. The work exemplifies Leonardo's interest in physiognomy, the practice of assessing a person's character or personality from their outer appearance, especially the face.
"Profil d'homme" is characterized by its fine lines and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the man's hair and facial features. The identity of the subject is unknown, and it is uncertain whether the drawing was intended as a preparatory study for a painting, an exercise in observation, or a portrait of an individual known to Leonardo.
The drawing is part of the Royal Collection Trust, held in the Print Room at Windsor Castle, and is one of many by Leonardo in the Royal Collection. It is not frequently on public display due to the sensitivity of old master drawings to light damage. When exhibited, it provides an invaluable insight into Leonardo's artistic process and his exploration of human psychology through art.
As with many works attributed to Leonardo, the authenticity of "Profil d'homme" has been the subject of scholarly debate. However, the drawing is generally accepted as a work by Leonardo's hand, and it continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance as part of the oeuvre of one of the most celebrated artists in the history of art.
