About this work

This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, looking off to the side. His hat has a red band, and the lines around his eyes and mouth are loose but expressive. The background is plain, so all the focus stays on his face. The drawing feels quick, almost like a sketch made in a hurry. The artist used a technique that lets the pencil or pen marks show clearly—no smooth shading here. Want to see more work like this? Check out lithography to learn how it’s made.
