This quick sketch shows an older man with a full white beard and tired eyes. His head tilts slightly, and his hands rest on his knees. The lines are loose and sketchy, like it was drawn fast. The artist focused on capturing the man’s wrinkles and beard texture with quick strokes. This style fits the loose, expressive look of Impressionism. Next, check out William Rothenstein for more sketches like this one.
