This sketch shows a young man in a suit and tie, facing forward with a serious look. The lines are loose but careful, focusing on his face and shoulders. The paper has a warm, light brown tint, and the artist used shading to show depth. The drawing looks like it was done quickly but with attention to detail, especially around the eyes and mouth. The artist signed the bottom right corner. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
