About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a man’s head and shoulders. He’s wearing a collared shirt and a bow tie. The lines are clean but not detailed—just enough to show his face and clothes. The name "BORIS" is written under his chin in bold letters. The artist signed it in the corner with the date "5.21." If you like this style, check out lithography next.
