Male Portrait
Schäffer captures a burst of raw emotion in this energetic sketch, showing a man's head in two dramatic poses. The main profile features wild, curly hair and an open mouth, as if the subject is mid-speech or gasping in surprise, while a second head tilts back wildly below it. This loose, swirling style is classic Romanticism, where artists cared more about capturing intense feelings and movement than perfect, polished details. It feels like we're peeking into the artist's sketchbook, watching him figure out the perfect angle for a character's reaction.
