Head of Saint John the Evangelist. Artist: Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (French, Montauban 1780-1867 Paris). Dimensions: 15 1/2 x 10 5/8 in. (39.4 x 27 cm).This is a study for an altarpiece, Christ Delivering the Keys to Saint Peter, commissioned in 1817 for Santissima Trinit dei Monti, Rome, and completed in 1820 (now Muse Ingres, Montauban). Ingres based the composition on Raphael's tapestry design of the same theme and developed it in eight oil studies (including this one) and more than seventy drawings.

Head of a Damned Soul from Dante's Inferno, (verso) 1770-1778 England. Born into a family of artists in Zurich, Henry Fuseli lived in Italy from 1770 to 1778. He probably painted this head, as well as the one executed with equally loose brushwork on the reverse of the canvas, as a study for his own use. Both images were also engraved as illustrations for Johann Caspar Lavaterís influential book on physiognomy (the science of facial structure). According to the text, the heads were inspired by damned souls in Dante Alighieriís epic poem Inferno. Throughout his career, Fuseli favored heroic subjects taken from the work of Dante, John Milton, and William Shakespeare, and he drew formal inspiration from Michelangelo, whom he equated with his literary heroes..
