This sketch shows a man with a bald head and a mustache, dressed in a dark coat and a red scarf. His face is mostly yellow and brown, while the background is plain and light. The lines are loose, almost like quick notes. The artist used watercolor, letting the paper show through in spots. The red scarf stands out against the dark coat, adding a pop of color. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
