Galerie Club Original paintings from France since 2017 Head of a Bearded Man French School  ·  Dated 1849  ·  Inscribed a.m.g. at the lower right The shoulder is bare, and that changes what this is. No collar, no attribute, no interior, nothing behind the head but brown. That is the format of a painted head made from the live model, an exercise that carried an annual prize in Paris, judged on the handling and nothing else. It explains why the face is turned into pure profile, the hardest view to keep alive, and why the light is allowed to do all the work on the brow, the cheekbone and the ridge of the nose. Someone set down three initials and a year in red at the lower right, and nothing more.
