This sketch shows a big-faced man with wild hair and a thick beard, dressed in a long coat and standing in front of a crowd. His hands are clasped together, and he looks serious. The background has a few blurry figures, like people watching or waiting. The artist made the man’s face much larger than his body, which is a funny trick to show how important he seems. This kind of drawing was often used in political cartoons back then. Next, check out how this was made using lithography.
