Sir Francis Seymour Haden Asleep

William Rothenstein

Cleveland Museum of Art

A sketch of a man sitting in a chair. The man has short hair and a receding hairline. He appears to be older, with lines on his face. The man is drawn in profile, facing left; only his head, neck and torso are shown. His body position suggests he may be dozing or sleeping. The sketch is done in pencil on paper, with the artist's signature in the bottom-right corner. The background is plain. The overall impression is one of a simple, yet evocative portrait. The subject is Sir Francis Seymour Haden and the artist is William Rothenstein.
