This sketch shows a person standing sideways, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a long coat with a cape. Their left hand rests on a cane, and the right hand hangs loose. The lines are quick and sketchy, with no small details—just rough shapes and shading. The artist used a loose, almost scribbly style, focusing on movement over precision. This was a quick study, not a finished portrait. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
