This sketch shows a man in a straw hat, looking off to the side. His mustache and jacket collar are clear, but the rest of his face and body are drawn in quick, loose lines. The paper has a rough texture, and the artist’s handwriting signs the bottom corners. The hat and rough lines give it a casual, sketchy feel—like a quick study. The artist used a drypoint technique, which means they scratched lines into a metal plate to create this print. Next, look up Corinth, Lovis.
