Man Pulling on His Shoe is a 1762 chalk by Jean-Baptiste Le Prince, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This sketch shows a man bent over, pulling off one shoe while holding the other. His posture is awkward, with one arm stretched out and his head tilted down. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried note. The artist used only black chalk on light paper, so the whole thing looks like a sketch rather than a finished drawing. The paper has a textured look, like it was made by hand long ago. If you like this style, check out the Baroque movement next.
