About this work

This sketch shows a bearded man with a mustache and a serious expression. His hair is gray, and he’s wearing a light-colored collar with a few lines drawn under it. The background is dark, making his face stand out. The artist used quick, loose strokes—no smooth shading here. The face looks a little rough, like it was drawn fast. If you like this sketchy style, look up sfumato.
