This sketch shows a man wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, tilted slightly to the side. His mustache and serious expression stand out, drawn in quick, rough lines. The paper’s edges are uneven, and the artist signed it in the corner. The hat looks like it’s made of straw, and the lines on his face are sketchy, almost like scribbles. The whole piece is in black, with no color—just shadows and texture. Next, check out Corinth, Lovis to see how he worked with lines and shading.
