This portrait shows a man in profile, facing left. He has short hair and is wearing a suit jacket over a collared shirt. The drawing is simple, with bold lines and minimal detail. The man's expression is calm, and his posture suggests he is sitting or standing still. The background of the drawing is plain, which helps focus attention on the subject. If you're interested in learning more about the artist behind this piece, you might want to look up Jean Cocteau.
