More about this artwork

This drawing, titled "Man in Profile," is an exquisite example of Edgar Degas's mastery in capturing the subtleties and intimacies of human expression. Created in 1877, this piece illustrates a man seen in profile, his features etched with both softness and precision through gentle pencil strokes on a toned paper background.The subject of the artwork is depicted with a full beard and moustache, which flow into the contours of his face, revealing an air of contemplative, perhaps scholarly, demeanor. His hair sweeps back neatly, and attention to detail is apparent in the natural fall of his coat and the crisp line of his collar. Although the man's eye is not visible, Degas skillfully uses the outline of his face and the curve of his jaw to suggest his mood and character.Characteristic of Degas's work, this portrait excels in its simplicity and the ability to convey depth of personality through minimal yet powerful lines. It's a reminder of the artist’s talent not only as a painter but also as a draughtsman capable of capturing a moment's quiet gravity.
