This sketch shows a man with a thick mustache wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat. His jacket has loose brushstrokes, and the paper’s texture is visible under the lines. The artist signed the bottom right corner in a quick, uneven hand. The hat’s flat crown and the rough, sketchy lines suggest a fast, loose style. This isn’t a polished painting—it’s more like a quick study, almost like a sketch. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis to see how his other works compare.
