Sketch of Frank Byrne is a 1923 by George Bellows, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This portrait sketch shows a man in a suit and tie, looking to the right. The artist has used a range of shading techniques to create depth and texture in the image. The sketch is quite detailed, with visible pencil marks and shading that give the subject a sense of volume. The artist has paid close attention to the folds in the man's jacket and the texture of his hair. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this sketch, which showcases the artist's skill in capturing a likeness with quick, expressive strokes.
George Wesley Bellows (August 12 or August 19, 1882 – January 8, 1925) was an American realist painter, known for his bold depictions of urban life in New York City.
