This is a close-up portrait of a man’s head and shoulders. His face is turned slightly to the side, with a neutral expression. The hair is curly and dark, and the background is a loose, dark shape with some faint greenery. The drawing looks rough, with quick strokes and smudges. The artist signed it with the letters "aos"—that’s the artist’s name, Spare. The style is simple, almost sketchy, but the face still feels real. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
