From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The painting features a profile head, with the subject's face turned to the right. The subject has curly hair and a beard, and is wearing a dark-colored shirt with a collar. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The subject's expression is serious, and their eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. The artist has used a range of values to create depth and dimension in the painting, with the darkest shadows in the subject's hair and beard. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to many works of art, including this profile head by Friedrich Wilhelm Reuter.
