About this work

This drawing shows a man with his head tilted back and eyes closed. He wears a hat and has a cloth draped over his shoulder. The drawing is made with pencil lines that vary in thickness and texture. The man's face is relaxed, and his mouth is slightly open. The background of the drawing is plain, with no other objects or scenery visible. The artist, Théodore Leblanc, used cross-hatching and stippling techniques to create texture and depth in this drawing.
