Don Mariano Camprubi (Le Bailarin)

About this work

This sketch shows a man in a fancy outfit, standing sideways. He’s wearing a long coat with big buttons, a loose shirt, and a cape draped over one arm. His hair is curly and wild, and he’s holding a small object in his other hand. The background is just a plain, textured paper with no details. The artist signed it at the bottom, and the name “don Mariano Camprubi” is written there too. That’s likely the man’s name, and the words say he was a dancer.
