This sketch shows a man in profile, his head turned slightly toward us. His face is lined with age, and his hair is thin and wavy. He wears a high-collared coat with a cravat tied neatly at his neck. One hand rests on his chest, fingers slightly curled. The artist used quick, loose lines to capture his wrinkles and the folds of his clothing. The paper has a warm, textured look, like it was done by hand. Next, check out etching to see how artists like this one create prints.
