This sketch shows a man in a wide-brimmed hat, leaning back in a chair. His coat has big folds, and his collar is high. The lines are loose and scratchy, like quick strokes. The artist used a mix of etching and drypoint—those jagged marks are from the needle. This style lets ink fill in the grooves, creating texture. Next, check out etching, drypoint, aquatint.
