About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a dark jacket with buttons and a belt. Their hands are clasped in front, and the drawing is loose and quick, like a rough draft. The lines are simple, with just a few shadows to suggest shape. The drawing feels unfinished, as if the artist was still figuring out the pose. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this work, and it’s from the late 1800s or early 1900s. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching next.
