About this work

This sketch shows a man in a plaid jacket and hat, leaning on a cane. He’s holding a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other, looking off to the side. The lines are loose and quick, with some dark shading for his hat and the background. The artist used simple shapes and bold outlines to capture his pose and attitude. The style feels lively and a little rough around the edges. Next, check out Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French, 1864–1901) for more of his work.
