"Study of an Upright Head" is a painting by the English Victorian artist Sir Francis Bernard Dicksee, commonly known as Sir Frank Dicksee (1853–1928). Dicksee was a renowned painter and illustrator of his time, celebrated for his depictions of dramatic historical and legendary scenes, often characterized by their romantic and sometimes sentimental portrayal. As a member of the Royal Academy of Arts and later its president, Dicksee's work was highly influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The painting "Study of an Upright Head" is an example of Dicksee's skill in capturing human emotion and character through portraiture. While the exact date of creation is not well-documented, it is known that Dicksee often created studies of heads and figures as preparatory work for his larger narrative paintings. These studies allowed him to refine the expressions and details that would later contribute to the dramatic impact of his finished works.

"Study of an Upright Head" may not be as widely recognized as some of Dicksee's larger and more elaborate compositions, such as "La Belle Dame sans Merci" or "Romeo and Juliet," but it nonetheless exemplifies his meticulous technique and his ability to convey psychological depth. The subject of the painting, whose identity is not specified, is depicted with an upward gaze, suggesting contemplation or reaction to an unseen event or presence. The work is executed with the fine brushwork and attention to detail that are hallmarks of Dicksee's style.

As with many studies, the painting's primary purpose was likely to serve as a reference for the artist, and it may not have been intended for public exhibition during Dicksee's lifetime. The current location of "Study of an Upright Head" is not widely publicized, and it may reside in a private collection or an institution with limited public access.

In the context of Sir Frank Dicksee's oeuvre, "Study of an Upright Head" provides insight into the artist's creative process and his dedication to capturing the subtleties of human expression. It remains a testament to his artistic legacy and his contribution to the Victorian art scene.
