The artwork titled “Head of Demon” is a watercolor on paper created by Mikhail Vrubel around 1890. This piece, which belongs to the Symbolism art movement, falls under the genre of sketch and study. It is currently housed in the Krasnodar Regional Museum of Fine Arts in Krasnodar, Russia.
The artwork portrays an enigmatic and somber visage set against a backdrop that suggests a mountainous landscape. The central figure, potentially a demon or mythical being, is rendered with dark, penetrating eyes and a melancholic expression. The brushstrokes and layering of watercolor create a haunting and mystical atmosphere, characteristic of Symbolist themes. The use of muted, dark tones further accentuates the otherworldly and introspective nature of the piece.
