This sketch shows a man in a dark coat, sitting in a chair with one arm resting on its edge. He wears glasses, a white shirt, and a tie, and holds a pipe in his left hand. The background is simple—a curtain and a wall—so the focus stays on his face and posture. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture his expression and the folds of his coat. The shading is soft, making the face stand out against the darker background. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
