About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. His face is drawn in rough, sketchy lines, with thick hair and a short beard. The edges of the paper show some writing, but it’s hard to read. The artist used a technique that lets them draw directly onto a stone or metal plate. This makes the lines look hand-done and a little uneven. Try looking up lithography to see how it works.
