This sketch shows a man’s body from the side, drawn in quick, light red-brown lines. His posture is stiff, with one leg slightly bent and arms hanging loose. In the top right corner, there’s a rough sketch of a face in profile, looking over his shoulder. The paper is old and stained, with faint marks where the artist’s hand pressed down. The drawing feels fast, like a practice piece rather than a finished work. If you like this style, look up Baroque next.
