This drawing shows a serious-looking older man in a dark coat. His face is wrinkled, with deep lines around his eyes and mouth. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to suggest the folds of his jacket and the texture of his hair. The paper has a warm, aged tone, and the artist signed it in the corner. This style of drawing was popular in the 1800s. Next, look up etching to see how artists create detailed prints like this.
