Study of a male head is a 1893 oil by Carolus-Duran, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting depicts a male figure, likely a study, with a focus on the head and upper torso. The subject is shown from the chest up, with his face turned slightly to the right. He has short, dark hair and a neutral expression. The background is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture, particularly in the subject's hair and skin. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the focus squarely on the subject's face and upper body. For more information on the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Carolus-Duran.
