About this work

This lithograph portrait depicts a man's head and shoulders, rendered in black ink on a white background. The subject's face is turned slightly to the right, with his eyes cast downward. His hair is shaved close to the head, and his facial expression is neutral. The artist's use of bold, expressive lines and splatters of ink adds a dynamic quality to the portrait. The overall effect is one of intensity and emotion, as if the subject is lost in thought. To learn more about this style of portrait, explore the works of artist Joseph Norman.
