This sketch shows a man in a bright red hat with a fluffy fur collar draped over his shoulders. His mustache is thick, and he’s holding what looks like a curved object in his right hand. The background is plain, letting the colors of his clothes stand out. The handwritten notes below suggest this is a portrait of a man named Peri Schicsh, who held a government job. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes to capture his face and clothing. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more sketches like this.
