Etude

About this work

This sketch shows a person wearing a dark hat and coat, their face hidden in shadow. The drawing is rough, with quick, loose lines that leave some areas fuzzy. The green tint stands out against the pale paper. The artist used a fast, sketchy style—almost like a hurried note rather than a finished portrait. The signature in the corner reads *Rochegrosse*, matching the artist’s name. Check out lithography to see how this print was made.
