About this work

This sketch shows a person’s head turned slightly to the left, with a soft hat pulled low. The lines are loose and quick, like a quick study. The face is simple, with just enough detail to feel real. The drawing looks like it was made fast, maybe to capture a moment or practice shapes. The hat’s brim hides part of the forehead, and the collar peeks out under the chin.
