Head of a Man with a Turban Adorned with a Feather, 1787, Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine, Polish, (born France), 1745-1830, 2 5/8 x 1 3/4 in. (6.7 x 4.5 cm) (image)3 3/8 x 2 7/16 in. (8.6 x 6.2 cm) (sheet), Etching and drypoint, Poland, 18th century, Jean-Pierre Norblin de la Gourdaine was a French painter and printmaker active in Poland in the late 18th century. Norblin's charming miniature etchings, representing mostly male heads, street sellers, and vagabonds, reflect both in subject and technique the profound influence of Rembrandt's prints. Norblin was also drawn to Polish subjects, capturing the unfamiliar, exotic world around him in his depictions of men with colossal fur hats and curled moustaches, Cossacks, and Polish historical figures.

Large Grotesque Head ca. 1622 Jusepe de Ribera (called Lo Spagnoletto) Spanish Famed for his treatment of grotesque subjects in painting, Ribera brought this vision to his printmaking as well. This etching from 1622 is one of only sixteen that can be attributed to the artist with certainty. He conceived this grotesque head, like his closely related etchings of eyes and ears, as exercises in physiognomy in the tradition of Leonardo. The faint traces of an eye (barely legible at the upper left side of the man's stocking cap) indicates that this print was produced from a reworked plate for the etching of eyes..

Bust of a Man in a Hat Gazing Upward Martin Schongauer German ca. 1480-90 Celebrated for his pioneering engravings, Martin Schongauer was also a gifted panel painter and draftsman. This rare study is one of the few drawings that can be attributed to him. Combining fluid, richly varied strokes with delicate facial hatching, it probably represents a character head rather than a portrait. In style, the drawing is close to Schongauers late engravings.

Self-Portrait in a Cocked Hat. Artist: Goya (Francisco de Goya y Lucientes) (Spanish, Fuendetodos 1746-1828 Bordeaux). Dimensions: 3 7/8 x 3 7/16 in. (9.8 x 8.8 cm). Date: ca. 1790.This vigorous portrait, stippled and lined in brown ink, is likely one of Goya's most faithful self-studies. The artist was probably middle-aged when he made the drawing, but his dashing appearance, complete with tricorne hat, belies his years. It shows Goya before a grave illness of 1793 that would compromise his vitality. Drawn with a blunt pen in distinct marks, the self-portrait was used to engrave the frontispiece for the third edition of Goya's suite of lithographs illustrating bull fights, La Tauromaquia (1876).
