About this work

This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, looking slightly down. His hair is short and wavy, and he wears a high-collared shirt with a ruffled cuff. The background is just a few loose lines, leaving the focus on his expression. The artist used only red crayon on paper, giving the whole piece a warm, earthy tone. The lines are quick and sure, almost like a quick sketch. Next, look up Marcoussis, Louis Casimir Ladislas to see more of his work.
