"Head of a Bearded Man" is an oil painting by the Scottish artist William Dyce (1806–1864), known for his contributions to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and his significant role in the formation of public art education in the United Kingdom. Dyce was a versatile artist whose works encompassed historical, biblical, and genre subjects, as well as portraiture and landscapes. Although he is best remembered for his frescoes and grand historical paintings, "Head of a Bearded Man" represents a more intimate and focused study of the human form.

The painting depicts the head of an elderly man with a full beard, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of character. The subject's expression is contemplative and serene, suggesting a moment of introspection or wisdom. The work is characterized by its realistic portrayal and the masterful use of light and shadow, which highlight the textures of the man's skin and beard, adding depth and dimension to the composition.

"Head of a Bearded Man" is significant as an example of Dyce's portraiture skills and his ability to capture the essence of his subject with empathy and technical precision. The painting also reflects the broader Victorian interest in realism and the human condition, themes that were explored by many artists of the era.

The date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, which is not uncommon for works of this period that were not commissioned or intended for public exhibition. As such, the painting's provenance and historical context may be less well-known than some of Dyce's more famous works, such as "Pegwell Bay, Kent – a Recollection of October 5th 1858" or his contributions to the decoration of the Palace of Westminster.

"Head of a Bearded Man" is part of the collection of the Aberdeen Art Gallery in Dyce's native Scotland, where it contributes to the representation of Scottish art from the 19th century and offers insight into the development of portrait painting during that time. The work is appreciated by art historians and the public alike for its quiet dignity and the skillful execution that is characteristic of Dyce's artistic legacy.
