More about this artwork

Welcome to our exploration of John Singer Sargent's drawing titled "Man with Curly Hair" from 1872. This exquisite piece predominantly features pencil on paper, showcasing Sargent's precise and emotive drawing style.The artwork captures the visage of a young man in a remarkably lifelike and expressive manner. His hair, curly and disorderly, frames his face with a natural flow, while his eyes, gazing towards something unseen, evoke a sense of contemplation or distant thought. The man's mustache and the beginnings of a beard highlight his maturity against the soft youthful features of his face.The shading and details Sargent utilizes around the man's facial features and shirt provide depth and texture, drawing the viewer into the subtle intricacies of his expression and attire. The choice of plain background emphasizes the subject, inviting the viewer to focus wholly on the character and mood conveyed by the young man's pose and expression."Man with Curly Hair" is more than just a study of a person; it is a window into the era's style and the intimate human condition, executed with the technical skill and emotional depth that Sargent is celebrated for.

Born in Florence to American expatriate parents, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) is considered Europe's leading portrait painter of the Edwardian era. He was educated at both Accademia delle Belle Arti and Paris's École des Beaux Arts. While in Paris, under the guidance of Émile–Auguste Carolus–Duran, a portraitist and muralist, Sargent learned to paint directly from observation without first sketching, employing a fluidity, influenced by the Impressionists. Sargent created more than 2,900 paintings, mainly portraits and landscapes from his travels across the Atlantic, Europe, the Middle East and America.
