"Profile of an Old Man" is a drawing attributed to the Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci, dating from around 1513. This work is executed in red chalk on paper and is noted for its meticulous detail and the delicate rendering of the aged subject's features. The drawing is often considered a study of the effects of age on the human face, showcasing Leonardo's keen interest in human anatomy and his observational prowess.

The drawing is characterized by the side profile of an elderly man with a pronounced nose, sunken eyes, and a furrowed brow, which reflects the Renaissance practice of drawing profiles, a tradition that was particularly popular in the fifteenth century for portraits. The subject's long beard and the contours of his face are rendered with fine, hatched lines, demonstrating Leonardo's mastery of the medium and his understanding of the textures of skin and hair.

While the identity of the man depicted remains unknown, some scholars have speculated that it could be a study of an idealized figure or a character study for a painting. Others have suggested that it could be a portrait of Leonardo's father, Ser Piero da Vinci, or another contemporary. However, these theories are not universally accepted, and the drawing's subject remains an enigma.

"Profile of an Old Man" is held in the collections of the Royal Library of Turin, Italy. It is one of many such studies by Leonardo that exemplify his lifelong fascination with the human condition and the natural world. The drawing is an important piece within the oeuvre of Leonardo's drawings, as it provides insight into his artistic process and his exploration of the human form. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians and scholars of the Renaissance, contributing to the understanding of Leonardo's approach to portraiture and his broader artistic legacy.
