About this work

This sketch shows a man with a mustache and curly hair, turned slightly away. His collar is visible, and the lines are loose, almost sketchy. The paper looks textured, and the drawing is all in black. The artist used a quick, rough style—just enough to catch the face and posture. This was made in 1896 as a lithograph, meaning it was drawn on a stone and printed. Check out lithography to see how artists like this made prints.
