About this work

This sketch shows a big, lumpy head with a wide-open mouth and wild hair. The face looks angry or surprised, with thick black lines and no real details. In the background, there’s a faint, blurry scene of people sitting around a table, but it’s hard to make out. The artist signed it in the corner, and the year "1956" is written near the bottom. The drawing feels rough and fast, like it was made in one go. Check out how this work was made using lithography.
