About this work

This sketch shows a man in profile, wearing a loose hat pulled low over his forehead. His left arm rests on a surface, fingers spread wide, while his right hand holds something near his chest. The lines are quick and rough, with no fine details—just loose strokes that suggest form. The drawing looks like a quick study, maybe done in a few minutes. The artist didn’t focus on realism here—just the basic shapes and mood. If you like this sketchy style, check out Jean Louis Forain.
