This sketch shows a man’s face and hands resting on a table. The lines are loose and scratchy, almost like scribbles. The hair and beard are made of quick, jagged strokes, while the hands look more solid but still rough. The paper has a textured, aged look, like it’s been handled a lot. The artist signed it in the corner with the date *1897*. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists create these kinds of prints.
