About this work

This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, drawn in loose, scratchy lines. The artist used only black ink on light paper, leaving the background bare. His glasses, collar, and hair are suggested with quick strokes—no details are finished. The name *Wilhelm Trübner* is written in the top corner, along with the date *1913* and a few German words. The sketch feels fast, like it was made in one sitting. If you like this style, check out Corinth, Lovis.
