About this work

This drawing presents a portrait of a man seated on a chair, with his right elbow resting on the back of the chair and his hand supporting his head. He is attired in a vest, shirt, and pants, and his left hand grasps a stick. The background of the drawing is a plain beige color. A notable detail in the drawing is the subtle variation in shading, which adds depth and dimension to the subject's features. The artist's use of gentle lines and soft shading creates a sense of calmness and serenity. For more information on the artist's technique, explore the technique of cross-hatching.
