Portrait of Eugene Speicher, Second Stone is a 1924 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a man in a dark suit, white shirt, and tie. His face is serious, with strong lines for his jaw and eyebrows. The background is plain, so all focus stays on him. The artist used quick, loose strokes—especially on the jacket—to show texture. The name "Eugene Speicher" is signed at the bottom, but the artist’s initials "G.B." are in the corner.
