This sketch shows a man in profile, wearing a tall hat and a dark coat. His face is drawn in loose, quick lines, with light shading under his chin and around his eyes. The paper looks old and worn, with some faint writing in the corner. The note says it was made in March 1844 while the artist was on a ship called the *Loter’s Steamner*. The drawing feels like a quick, personal moment rather than a polished work. Next, look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
