About this work

This sketch shows a serious-looking man in a dark coat with three buttons. His hair is powdered and pulled back, and he wears a white cravat at his neck. Below the portrait is a small, ornate crest with a bird and scrollwork. The artist used fine lines to create soft shading, giving the face a gentle texture. This style fits the Realism movement, which focused on everyday people and careful detail. Next, check out Albert Rosenthal, the artist who made this portrait in 1897.
