Porträt eines Jungen (Studie) is a 1923 by Gesell, Daniel Cornelius, held at City Museums Freiburg.
This is a pencil drawing of a boy’s face. The lines are loose and quick, almost like he moved while the artist worked. The shading uses short, rough strokes instead of smooth blends. The artist likely changed his style late in life. A problem with his eyes forced him to work faster. That’s why the drawing feels alive and caught in a moment. See how the boy’s cheek is just a few bold marks? Look up stippling next.
