About this work

This sketch shows a close-up of a bearded man’s face and shoulders. His hair and beard are dark, almost black, while his skin is a mix of pale and shadowy tones. A red hat sits low on his head, and his expression looks serious, with a slight frown. The brushwork is loose and rough, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The dark background makes the face stand out, but the details are still vague. Check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
