Head of a Bearded Man Gazing to His Left, 1859. William Mulready (British, 1786-1863). Pen and brown ink; sheet: 22.6 x 18.4 cm (8 7/8 x 7 1/4 in.); secondary support: 28.1 x 24 cm (11 1/16 x 9 7/16 in.). For William Mulready, drawing was a lifelong preoccupation. This sheet was drawn from a model in the Royal Academys life school when the artist was 73. He was one of the Academys most devoted teachers, positioning the model for his students and then drawing alongside them. Closely observed and meticulously crafted, the work attests to Mulreadys consummate skill as a draftsman, and the weather-beaten face of the male model is as arresting today as it was in Victorian London.
