About this work
A graphite sketch on grey-toned paper shows a head with flowing, wavy hair, closed eyes, and a calm, idealized face, with the shoulders and neck partly outlined. The inscription in the lower right reads "Ben Haydon" with the date 1813. The work is catalogued as Head of Solomon by Benjamin Robert Haydon, with a study of a boy's head and arm on the verso.
