Study Head of a Young Man Looking Upwards. St Sebastian is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This drawing shows a young man with wavy hair, looking upward. His face is turned slightly to the side, and his expression is calm but intense. The skin is lightly shaded, and the background is a plain, dark gray. The artist focused on the man’s face and neck, leaving the rest of the body simple. The title suggests this might be a study for a larger work about St. Sebastian, a Christian saint often shown in art. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
