Titled "Study of the head of an old man" this silverpoint on paper artwork offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the past. The aged face depicted in this portrait is filled with character and wisdom. The intricate details captured by van der Weyden's skilled hand bring out every wrinkle, every strand of beard, and every line etched onto this elderly man's visage.
