About this work

This sketch shows a man’s face in profile, looking serious. His gray hair and beard are drawn in quick, loose strokes. The collar of his shirt is visible but not detailed. The handwritten note "Aout 39!" suggests it might be from 1939, but the style feels fast and rough. The artist didn’t focus on perfect lines—just capturing the shape and mood.
