About this work

This is a simple ink drawing of a person’s side profile. The lines are loose and quick, with just enough detail to show a neck, ear, and the curve of a collar. The paper is light beige, and the ink is dark, making the drawing stand out clearly. The artist signed it in the corner—*"Francis Picabia"*—in the same ink. The style feels more like a sketch than a polished portrait, almost like it was drawn fast. If you like this style, look up *cross-hatching* next.
