About this work

This sketch shows a man in a dark coat with high collar and a white cravat. His curly hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The lines are loose but confident, focusing on his face and shoulders. The date "1827" is written in the corner, and the title calls him "Majordomo Albrecht." The artist’s handwriting is quick, almost like a note. If you like this style, check out Romanticism for more expressive portraits.
