MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Bust of a Warrior, and a Head in Profile

🖼 Bust of a Warrior, and a Head in Profile, 1503-04
Pen and brown ink
139 × 115 cm
Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rendered in marble, two classical heads display contrasting profiles—one helmeted warrior facing forward, the other delicate profile in relief. Michelangelo's dual study explores Renaissance ideals of strength and grace, demonstrating his mastery of sculptural portraiture and psychological depth.
