About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man’s head and shoulders. His face is serious, with a mustache and short hair. The lines are sharp, especially around his eyes and jaw. He’s wearing a collared shirt and a jacket with a textured pattern. The artist used a simple, clean style—no extra details or background. The signature in the corner reads *"Jesús Escobedo, 1939."* If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it works.
