"Head of a Putto" is a renowned drawing by the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino), created during the peak of his artistic career, which spanned the early 16th century. This delicate work is a study of a cherubic child's head, often referred to as a putto in the context of Renaissance art. Putti, plural for putto, are chubby male children, usually nude and sometimes winged, that were a popular feature in both religious and mythological artworks of the time.

The drawing is executed with fine lines, showcasing Raphael's mastery in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the softness of youthful features. It is believed to have been a preparatory sketch for a larger composition, possibly for one of Raphael's many commissioned frescoes or altarpieces. The exact date of creation is not definitively known, but it is typically attributed to Raphael's Roman period (1508–1520) when he was engaged in projects such as the decoration of the Vatican's Stanze di Raffaello.

"Head of a Putto" is significant not only for its aesthetic beauty but also for its insight into Raphael's artistic process. The drawing illustrates his practice of carefully planning the individual elements of his paintings through detailed studies. This approach allowed Raphael to achieve a high level of refinement and harmony in his finished works.

The drawing is held in high esteem by art historians and is often cited as an example of Raphael's skill in rendering human anatomy with both accuracy and grace. It is also a testament to the enduring influence of classical ideals of beauty during the Renaissance. The work is part of a larger body of Raphael's drawings that have been preserved and studied, contributing to the understanding of his contributions to the development of Western art.

As a piece of Raphael's oeuvre, "Head of a Putto" continues to be admired for its technical excellence and its embodiment of the Renaissance spirit. It remains an object of study for students of art history and a treasured example of Raphael's legacy as a draftsman and painter.
