About this work

This sketch shows a man with a serious face and a thick mustache. His hair is wavy, and he’s wearing a dark coat with a high collar. The lines are scratchy and uneven, almost like the artist was drawing fast. The name "Robert Henri" is signed in the print, but it’s not the artist—it’s the person pictured. This is a portrait made using a printing method called etching. Next, look up etching to see how artists create prints like this.
