This sketch shows an older man with a long white beard and a fur-trimmed hat. His face is drawn in loose, quick lines, and the paper has a yellowed, aged look. The artist used light pencil strokes to show texture in his beard and hat. The handwritten note at the bottom names him as "Christophoros Galinos," a Greek priest. The sketch feels more like a quick study than a polished portrait. Next, check out the artist’s other work: Vigne, Godfrey Thomas (FRGS).
