Head of an Old Man is a 1704 by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows the head of an old man, turned to the left. His hair is curly and his beard is long. The old man's face is lined with wrinkles, and his eyes are cast downward. The old man's expression is serious, and his features are rendered in fine detail. The artist has used a range of tones to create a sense of depth and volume in the portrait.
