This sketch shows a man in a light-colored coat with dark lapels. His hair is curly and neatly combed, and he’s looking straight ahead with a calm expression. The background is plain, keeping all the focus on his face and shoulders. The paper looks worn, with some smudges and faint pencil marks around the edges. The artist used soft strokes to show shadows and light on the man’s face. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
