The image shows a sketch of a man playing a guitar and two studies of a man's head. The man playing the guitar is on the left, sitting and leaning to the right. He wears a hat, a loose-fitting shirt with billowy sleeves, tight-fitting pants, and shoes. He plays a guitar with his left hand and supports himself with his right. In the lower right corner is a study of a man wearing a hat and a coat. In the upper right corner is another study of a man's head wearing a hat. The background of the image is a light-brown color, resembling aged paper. The overall style of the sketch is reminiscent of Baroque-era art, characterized by its use of chiaroscuro and detailed depictions of everyday life. The Guitarist by Jean-Baptiste Pater.
