Dante, profil m.h.

About this work

This sketch shows a side view of a head turned slightly away. The lines are loose and quick, like a hasty drawing. The hair is suggested with a few bold strokes, and the face is simple but expressive. The sketch feels unfinished, almost like a quick study. It’s drawn in pencil or charcoal, with no background or extra details. Try looking up *sfumato* next—it’s a technique that blends edges softly, like this drawing does.
