Bürstenkrämer/Vendeur de Brosses (Brush Seller) is a 1775 ink by Quirin Mark, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a man standing with one hand on his hip and the other holding a broom. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a long coat, and a bag slung over his shoulder. His face looks tired, and he’s standing on a simple ground line. The title at the bottom calls him a "brush seller," which fits the broom he’s holding. The artist used fine lines and shading to give the drawing texture. Next, look up engraving to see how artists create detailed prints like this one.
