Auguste Rodin is a 1906 by Anders Zorn, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a bearded man with a wild, curly beard and wavy hair. His face is turned slightly to the side, and his eyes are closed. The lines are rough and scratchy, giving the image a textured, almost chaotic look. The artist used quick, uneven strokes to create the face and hair, making it feel alive and full of energy. This style is typical of sketches meant to capture a person’s character fast. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
