About this work

This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, wearing a suit and tie. His eyes are closed, and his hair is drawn in quick, sketchy lines. The artist used ink and pencil on paper, leaving some areas rough and others smooth. The signature in the corner says "Francis Picabia," and the style looks fast and loose, like a quick sketch. The lines on the tie and shirt are simple but give a sense of texture. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
