About this work

This sketch shows a side view of an older man with a lined face and curly hair. His beard is short, and his head is tilted slightly down. The drawing is done in quick, sketchy lines that leave some areas blank. The artist focused on the shape of the face and hair rather than details. This style was common in quick studies for larger works. Next, look up Rodin, Auguste to see how his sketches compare to his finished sculptures.
