About this work

This black-and-white image shows a man in a dark suit holding a small sketchbook and a tool—maybe a brush or pencil. His other hand rests on a vase with a single flower. The background is plain, and his face has soft shadows. The photo looks like it was taken around 1912, but it’s not part of a famous art movement. The lighting is simple, with gentle shading on his face and suit. Next, check out the Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
