About this work

This sketch shows a boy with short hair, looking slightly off to the side. He’s wearing a buttoned jacket with a collar, and his right arm rests on something out of view. The lines are scratchy and precise, like they were drawn with a metal tool. The paper has a rough texture, and the artist used fine, sharp strokes to show light and shadow. The date "1933" is written in the corner, along with some initials. If you like this style, check out Otto Dix—he made a lot of work like this.
