About this work

This sketch shows a young man standing, dressed in old-style clothes. He holds a hat in one hand. The artist used pencil and colored chalk to draw him. The lines are sharp but light. You can see Repin testing how to place light and shadow before painting. The drawing feels unfinished but full of energy. Look up Repin, Ilja next.
