About this work

This drawing shows a robed figure standing with one hand resting on their chest. The lines are loose and sketchy, giving the figure a slightly rough, unfinished look. The paper is aged and torn at the bottom, with some dark smudges around the edges. The figure looks like a holy person, holding a small object in their other hand. The drawing feels like a quick study rather than a polished work. Check out Tattarescu, Gheorghe for more of his sketches.
