This drawing shows an older man with a big white beard and round glasses. He’s wearing a dark coat, light pants, and a serious expression. One hand holds a cigarette, and he looks like he’s talking or gesturing. The sketch is labeled “A Novelist” and comes from a series called *Men of the Day*. The artist signed it “Spy,” which was a nickname. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
