About this work

This sketch shows a man in a top hat, dark suit, and bow tie, standing indoors. His hands are tucked into his pockets, and he’s wearing loose pants and shoes. Behind him, a staircase and a shelf with objects—maybe bottles—are drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The artist used a simple, loose style to draw the figure, almost like a quick sketch. The lines are uneven, giving it a hand-drawn feel. Want to see more work like this? Check out lithography to learn how this print was made.
