About this work

This is a black-and-white sketch of a serious-looking man in a dark coat and bow tie. His face is lined, and he’s looking off to the side. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show the folds in his clothes and the texture of his hair. The signature reads "W. H. Swayne," and the artist’s name, Albert Rosenthal, is written in the corner. The drawing looks like it was made in 1890. If you like this style, check out Realism for more portraits like this one.
