About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with curly hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a high-collared coat and looking straight ahead. The drawing is simple but shows his face clearly, with some shading for depth. The artist used light lines to define his features, keeping it clean and focused. This style fits a movement that values everyday subjects and clear details. Next, check out Realism to see more works like this one.
