About this work

This is a black-and-white drawing of a man in a long coat. His collar is turned up, and he’s adjusting something in his lapel with one hand. The coat looks heavy, with a patterned lining visible at the edges. His face is serious, with a mustache and wavy hair. The artist signed it in the corner—Adrien Nargeot—and dated it 1867. This isn’t a painting but a detailed drawing, likely made to capture the man’s exact appearance. Next, check out *The Cleveland Museum of Art* to see more works like this.
