Study of a Man's Head is a 1616 oil by Peter Paul Rubens, a Flemish Baroque painting work, depicting Man, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting is a close-up of a man's face, with his head turned slightly to the left. His hair is dark and curly, and he has a long, dark beard. The background is dark, which makes the man's face stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking at something in the distance. His eyebrows are furrowed, and his mouth is set in a straight line. The painting is done in oil paint, and the brushstrokes are visible. The artist who painted this is Peter Paul Rubens.
Sir Peter Paul Rubens ( ROO-bənz; Dutch: ; 28 June 1577 – 30 May 1640) was a Flemish artist and diplomat.
