About this work

This sketch shows a man with a serious expression, dark hair, and a mustache. He’s wearing a buttoned jacket with three visible buttons. The drawing is loose and quick, with soft shading for shadows. The name "Gisbert Flüggen" is written below the portrait, and the artist signed it as "Heine." The paper looks plain, and the lines are light, almost sketchy. Check out Heine, Wilhelm Joseph for more of his work.
