Cleveland Museum of Art

A black and white sketch of a man with a mustache wearing a suit. The man has dark thinning hair combed back and a large handlebar mustache. He is wearing a vest with a tie and a jacket hanging off his left shoulder. The sketch is drawn on white paper with a grey pencil. The man is drawn from the waist up and is facing to the left with his head turned to look at the viewer. There is a vertical line on the left side that could be a curtain. The artist's initials are in the bottom-left corner. The image is a portrait of Thomas Hardy by William Rothenstein.
