This sketch shows a simple face drawn in dark lines on a light background. The person has short hair, a neutral expression, and a plain collar. The lines are loose, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it in the corner with a small mark. The paper has a rough texture, and the whole image is framed like a small window. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create depth.
