About this work

This is a simple black-and-white drawing of a man in an old-fashioned coat with buttons. His hair is pulled back, and he has a serious expression. The paper looks worn, with some dark smudges and writing at the bottom. The name says *William Agur Tomlinson, M.D.*, with birth and death dates scrawled in ink. The artist signed it in the corner, but the paper itself is fragile, like it’s been around for a long time. If you like this style, look up Moulthrop, Reuben.
