About this work

This sketch shows a side profile of a person’s head, drawn in quick, rough lines. The hair is messy, almost like strokes of ink, and the face looks serious but not polished. The edges are uneven, giving it a sketchy, unfinished feel. The artist used a technique where the drawing is transferred onto paper through a stone or plate. This method lets for bold lines and a raw, expressive style. Next, check out how lithography works to see how this sketch was made.
