You see a man in a striped shirt standing on a gondola. His back faces you. The loose jacket he wears sways slightly. Thin lines show the folds in the fabric. Sargent drew this in 1912. He used graphite on paper. The lines feel loose but precise. It’s not a quick sketch. It took real care. Look up Sargent, John Singer next.
