Thomas Haden of Derby is a 1864 ink by Francis Seymour Haden, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man sitting with one arm resting on a chair. His loose shirt and relaxed pose make him look casual. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a sketch—no hard edges. The artist used a sharp tool to scratch into the paper, creating dark lines that stand out. This was a common way to make prints before photography. Try looking up etching to see how artists made prints like this.
