About this work

Overview

Created around 1915 by the artist listed as 237_person, this work titled "Dante, profil m.h." is part of the collection of the Museum of Ethnography. It is a two‑dimensional image that records a brief, gestural study of a human head in profile.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing presents a side view of a head turned slightly away, suggesting a contemplative or introspective stance. The minimal facial features convey expression through suggestion rather than detail, inviting viewers to infer the subject’s mood from the few lines that define the profile.

Technique & Style

Executed in a rapid, loose manner, the piece appears to be rendered in pencil or charcoal. Broad, confident strokes outline the hair, while the facial plane is rendered with simple, expressive lines. The lack of background and the sketch‑like quality indicate a study rather than a finished composition.

History & Provenance

The work dates to the early twentieth century, circa 1915, and has been held by the Museum of Ethnography since its acquisition. No further documentation of its ownership or exhibition history is currently recorded.
