This sketch shows a man in a long coat and tall hat, leaning on a cane. His hair is curly, and he’s standing on a raised platform with columns behind him. The lines are loose and quick, like a rough draft. The artist captured the man’s confident stance with just a few strokes. This drawing was made in 1823, when people often sketched famous figures on the spot. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
