This is a simple black-and-white sketch of a young man facing forward. His hair is neatly combed, and he wears a collared shirt with a bow tie. The lines are soft, and the face looks calm but a little serious. The signature in the corner says "F. Cormon, 1905," so this was drawn over a century ago. The style feels gentle, like it was done quickly but carefully. If you like this kind of portrait, look up chiaroscuro next.
