"Head of a Youth" is a captivating drawing attributed to the Italian Renaissance master Raphael, also known as Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino. This exquisite work exemplifies Raphael's exceptional skill in rendering the human form with delicate precision and emotional depth. Created during the early 16th century, the drawing is believed to be a preparatory study for one of Raphael's larger compositions, possibly a fresco or an altarpiece.

The drawing portrays the head of a young male, characterized by soft, flowing hair and a serene, contemplative expression. The youth's features are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing Raphael's mastery of chiaroscuro—the use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. The subtle gradations of tone and the delicate lines used to depict the hair and facial features highlight Raphael's ability to convey both physical beauty and inner emotion.

"Head of a Youth" is executed in black chalk, a medium that allows for fine lines and subtle shading, which Raphael employs to great effect. The drawing's simplicity and elegance are hallmarks of Raphael's style, reflecting his deep understanding of classical ideals and his ability to infuse his works with a sense of grace and harmony.

This drawing is part of the collection of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, where it is preserved as an important example of Raphael's draftsmanship. The study provides valuable insight into the artist's creative process, revealing how he meticulously planned and refined his compositions. "Head of a Youth" not only exemplifies Raphael's technical prowess but also offers a glimpse into the Renaissance ideals of beauty and humanism that he so profoundly embodied in his art.
