About this work

This sketch shows two men in profile, facing left. Both wear high-collared coats—one with a scarf—and their faces are drawn with soft, sketchy lines. The paper has a yellowish tint, and the edges look worn. The artist included his own brother in the portrait, drawn side by side. The style is loose and quick, typical of early lithographs.
