''Head of a Bearded Man, Perhaps a Study for the Head of Christ'' is a drawing attributed to Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino (1503–1540), an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active during the Renaissance. The work is believed to be a preparatory study for a depiction of Christ, showcasing Parmigianino's skill in capturing human emotion and his mastery of chiaroscuro.

The drawing is executed in black and red chalk on paper, a common medium for artists of the time to make preliminary sketches for larger compositions. The subject is a bearded male figure, his gaze directed slightly upward, which is a typical pose for representations of Christ in contemplation or in the throes of passion. The attribution to Parmigianino is based on stylistic analysis and comparison with his known works, particularly the delicate rendering of facial features and the soft modeling of the beard and hair.

While the exact date of the drawing is uncertain, it is generally placed within Parmigianino's mature period, which is characterized by a refined elegance and elongation of form, hallmarks of the Mannerist style that he helped to define. The drawing's provenance and history prior to its current location are not well-documented, which is not uncommon for works on paper from this era.

The drawing is significant not only as a possible study for a larger work but also as an example of Parmigianino's draftsmanship and his influence on the development of portraiture. It provides insight into the artist's process and the Renaissance practice of carefully planning compositions through detailed studies. ''Head of a Bearded Man, Perhaps a Study for the Head of Christ'' remains an important piece for scholars studying Parmigianino's oeuvre and the broader context of Renaissance art.
