About this work

This painting features a sketch of a man's head and shoulders, rendered in red and brown hues. The subject's face is turned to the left, with his chin slightly raised. A few loose lines suggest the presence of a shirt or jacket. The background of the painting is a light beige color, with some visible pencil marks and a grid pattern. The overall effect is one of rough, unfinished work. To learn more about the artist behind this piece, look up Ferdinand Hodler.
