About this work

This sketch shows a bearded man with curly hair, looking slightly upward. His hands are clasped in front of him, and the lines are loose and sketchy, almost like quick pencil strokes. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and shoulders. The artist used a quick, rough style—no smooth shading, just quick marks to suggest form. This was made as a lithograph, which means it was drawn on a flat stone and printed. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
