About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of an older man in a dark suit and bow tie. His bald head and serious expression stand out against the plain background. One hand rests on the arm of a chair, while the other holds a piece of paper. The artist signed the piece in the lower right corner, and the name "Horace Gray" is written below the man’s hand. The sketchy lines and shading give it a textured, almost sketch-like quality. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like this.
