About this work

This sketch shows a close-up of a man’s face in profile. He’s wearing a tall, pointed hat with a feather on top and a checkered shoulder piece. His expression is serious, with strong lines for the nose and mouth. The drawing is all in black and white, with quick, rough strokes. The artist used a technique that makes shadows and light stand out sharply. This helps the face look three-dimensional even though it’s just lines. Next, look up *drypoint* to see how this sketch was made.
