This sketch shows a bald man in a white coat, looking off to the side with a serious expression. His face is mostly pink and gray, with quick brushstrokes for the collar and jacket. The background is plain, letting the face stand out. The white coat hints he might be a doctor, though the painting doesn’t give many clues. The artist used loose, sketchy lines—nothing polished or detailed. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in portraits.
