This sketch shows a bearded man with a round face and deep-set eyes. His hair is curly and gray, and he wears a high-collared jacket. The lines are loose and quick, almost like scribbles, with no fine details. The artist signed the bottom right corner in small letters. This sketch was made in 1902 using a method called lithography, where artists draw on a smooth stone instead of canvas. Next, check out lithography to see how this sketch was made.
