About this work

This sketch shows a man with a pipe, his face turned slightly away. His hair is wavy and messy, and his beard is thick. The lines are loose and scratchy, like quick pencil strokes. The background is vague, with a hint of a window or curtain behind him. The paper has a rough texture, making the drawing look handmade and urgent. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
