About this work

This drawing shows a young man with a gentle face. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The artist used pastel on paper to create this work, which is a pretty simple technique. The drawing is interesting because it's very delicate. The pastel colors are soft and calming. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: cross-hatching, stippling.
