About this work

This sketch shows a man in glasses sitting sideways in a chair. His jacket is buttoned up, and his hands rest on his lap. The chair’s back has a thick wooden slat design, and the whole drawing is loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The artist used a scratchy, textured line—likely from a tool like a crayon or pen on stone. The style feels raw, like it was drawn fast. Want to know more? Try lithography.
