This sketch shows a bearded man sitting with one arm resting on a chair. His shirt is loose, and he looks directly at you. The lines are rough and dark, leaving some areas blank. The artist signed the bottom right corner and dated it 1853. This style uses sharp contrasts between light and dark. Check out Bracquemond, Félix for more works like this.
Félix Henri Bracquemond (French pronunciation: ; 22 May 1833 – 29 October 1914) was a French painter, etcher, and printmaker.
