This sketch shows a man sitting on a low stool, leaning on a wooden staff. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat with a pinkish lining, and loose trousers. His bare feet stick out, and he holds a small gun in his right hand. The drawing looks rough and quick, almost like a quick note. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the general shape and mood. If you like this style, check out Romanticism.
