This sketch shows a man hunched over a drawing board, his face half-lit by a window. He wears a flat hat and a loose coat, gripping a pencil or brush. The background is blurry, with just a hint of a sailboat outside and dark, swirling lines around him. The artist focused on the man’s hands and face, leaving the rest fuzzy—like a quick snapshot. This style was common in a movement called *Impressionism*. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
