This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, looking down. His hair and beard are drawn with quick, tangled lines. The paper has a rough texture, and the artist left some edges and spots unfinished. The signature in the corner reads "Besnard." This piece was made in 1900 using a printing method that scratches into the metal plate. Next, check out the technique: etching, drypoint.
