Man with Curly Hair is a 1872 graphite by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
You see a man's head and upper torso in a three-quarter view. He has curly hair and a mustache. The artist drew this with careful detail, which shows his skill in drawing people. The man's face is the focus of the drawing. The plain background helps us look at him more closely. The artist used different shades to make the man's features stand out. You can learn more about the artist who drew this by looking up Sargent, John Singer.
John Singer Sargent (; January 12, 1856 – April 15, 1925) was an American expatriate artist, considered the "leading portrait painter of his generation" for his evocations of Belle Époque and Edwardian-era luxury.
