About this work

This sketch shows a man’s side profile, his head tilted slightly down. His long beard and bald head are drawn in loose, quick lines. The paper is plain, and the whole image is just black and white. The artist left the background empty, focusing only on the face and beard. The lines are rough, like a fast sketch rather than a polished drawing. Want to see more by this artist? Try Redon, Odilon.
