This drawing is called A Young Man with a Staff. It was made by Giovanni Battista Piranesi around 1765. The artist used pen and brown ink with brown wash on laid paper, which was a common technique at the time. I don't know what the image looks like, but I can tell you that Piranesi was active during the Romanticism movement. You can learn more about this style and others at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
