About this work

This sketch shows a side view of an older man with glasses and wavy hair. His face is drawn in loose, quick lines, and the background is just a plain, pale sheet. The title "The old grease" is written in messy, uneven letters at the top. The artist used mostly pencil with a little watercolor to keep it light and sketchy. The drawing feels like it was done fast, almost like a quick note. Check out David Scher for more of his loose, expressive portraits.
