"Head of an Old Man" is an oil on canvas work, artistically crafted by the eminent Flemish Baroque artist Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599–1641). Van Dyck, known for his proficiency as a portrait painter, presents an arguably profound understanding of human expressions and conditions in this work. The painting fundamentally depicts the head of an old man, presumably in his later years, marked by wrinkles, sagging skin, and thinning hair.

"Head of an Old Man" is steeped in nuanced realism, which was a hallmark of Van Dyck's approach to portraiture. Through his careful application of paint and attention to minute details, Van Dyck has positioned the figure in an atmosphere of contemplative calmness. The subject's gaze, seeming vacant yet absorbed, provides an ephemeral glimpse into the lived experiences and other subjective aspects of old age.

Although the exact date of the creation of this artwork could not be established without speculation, it aligns well with Van Dyck's mature style, which developed during his fruitful period in England (1632–1641), under the patronage of King Charles I.

As with Van Dyck's body of work, "Head of an Old Man" eloquently echoes the influence of his early mentor, Peter Paul Rubens, while presenting the individualism and exceptional artistic vision of Van Dyck himself. The painting is held in high regard for its intrinsic aesthetic value and its contribution to the understanding of Van Dyck's exploration of human nature and mortality.

As of the present time, the work resides within a private collection, making public viewings rare. This has led to limited scholarly analysis and critique of the painting. Nevertheless, "Head of an Old Man" remains a testament to Van Dyck's mastery, representing the poignant beauty and dignity of old age amidst the human condition's inescapable transient nature.
