This sketch shows a face with wild, curly hair and a thick beard. The lines are rough and scratchy, almost like feathers or sharp strokes. The paper is a light tan, and the dark lines stand out against it. The artist used a tool to carve into the paper, creating a textured effect. This was a proof print, so it’s one of the first copies made. Look up Tischler, Heinrich to see more of his work.
