This sketch shows a close-up of a man’s face, drawn in light pencil strokes. The eyes are large and dark, the nose straight, and the mouth slightly open. His hair is wavy and drawn in quick, loose lines. The artist focused on the face’s shape and expression, leaving the edges soft and unfinished. The paper has a yellowed look, like it’s old.
