About this work

This sketch shows a man sitting with his arms resting on his knees. His jacket is buttoned up, and his hands are clasped loosely. The lines are simple and confident, focusing on shapes rather than details. The artist signed it in the corner with the name "Kapp" and the year 1926. The drawing feels quick but deliberate, like a snapshot of a moment. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
