Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a man sitting. The man has dark hair and a beard, and he is wearing a light-colored shirt with a dark scarf around his neck. He is sitting on the right side of the image with his body facing left and looking toward the viewer. His arms are bent at the elbows and his hands are clasped together. The background on the left side of the image is light-colored with some darker lines suggesting a curtain. The background on the right side is dark. The image has a thin border around it and the artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner.
