Man Speaking in an Oratory Pose (from Sketchbook)

Pencil sketch on paper of a man in 19th-century attire. The man has short, curly hair and a mustache. He wears a long coat over a vest and pants, with his right arm extended outward and his left hand holding an object. The man stands with his feet apart and slightly turned inward. The background is blank except for a partial object behind the man on his right side. The sketch has a rough border with visible pencil marks. The sketch appears to be a study or preparatory drawing.
