About this work

This sketch shows a man with a serious face and a thick mustache. His hair is short and he’s wearing a high-collared shirt with a tie. The drawing is done in a warm reddish-brown color, almost like a quick sketch. The artist signed it in the corner and wrote "Dr. Louis Vintras" at the top. It looks like it was made in 1904 using a printing method that leaves rough lines. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it works.
