About this work

This black-and-white drawing shows a man sitting in a fancy chair inside what looks like a room with columns. He’s dressed in old-fashioned clothes—high boots, a coat with buttons, and a cravat around his neck—and holds a rolled-up paper in his right hand. The chair has a curved back, and the room behind him has a patterned wall and a curtain. The name "John W. Lowe" is printed below him, suggesting this was made for a book. The style looks like it’s from the early 1900s, but it’s drawn in a simple, flat way without much shading. If you like this kind of old-fashioned drawing, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
