About this work

This sketch shows a quick, loose drawing of a person wearing glasses and a tie. The lines are wobbly and uneven, like they were drawn fast. The face is barely there—just a few strokes for eyes, nose, and mouth. The artist signed it in the corner, but the drawing itself feels more like scribbles than a real portrait. It’s raw and messy, almost like a doodle. If you like this style, check out Barnett Newman.
