This sketch shows a man with a long beard and a wrinkled turban. His face is half-lit, with shadows under his eyes and along his jaw. The background is faint, letting his features stand out. The artist wrote a note below: *"Native of the Khyber pass between Peshawour & Kabul."* That’s where this man likely comes from. Next, look up Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
