About this work

This sketch shows a man in a suit, sitting with one hand holding a cigarette holder. His jacket has a patch on the sleeve, and he’s wearing a tie and a serious expression. The lines are dark and simple, with no color—just black and white. The artist signed it "G.B." in the corner, and the name "Louis Bouché" is written below the portrait. This suggests it’s a portrait of someone specific, but the sketch itself is loose and quick. If you like this style, check out George Bellows (American, 1882–1925) for more of his work.
