This is a black-and-white drawing of a man’s head and shoulders turned slightly to the side. His hair is pulled back neatly, and his face has a calm, serious look. The lines are smooth and careful, focusing on the shape of his nose, jaw, and ears. The name below reads *Johannes Scheffer Ritter von Leonhardshof*, with dates 1796–1822. This was drawn right after his death, likely as a memorial sketch. If you like this style, check out Romanticism next.
