This sketch shows a big-headed man in a suit, adjusting his jacket. His face is round, his mustache thick, and his hair wild. Behind him, a crowd of smaller, blurry figures stands in the background, watching. The artist used a quick, sketchy style to make the man’s face stand out. The lines are loose, almost like a doodle, but the man’s expression is clear. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
