About this work

This sketch shows a young person with messy, dark hair pulled back under a headband. The face is turned slightly to the side, with a serious look. The artist used quick, loose lines to draw the collar of a shirt and the shape of the head. The signature reads "G.B." and the name "Jean" is written below the image. The sketch feels rough and unfinished, like a quick study. If you like this style, try looking up *chiaroscuro* next.
