Head of a Young Man is a 1404 by Filippino Lippi, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You're looking at a portrait of a young man. He's shown from the shoulders up, and his face is the main focus. The artist used a range of grays and browns to create a sense of depth and volume. One interesting detail is the way the artist has captured the texture of the young man's hair. It looks soft and curly, and it adds a sense of life to the portrait.
