Man with Umbrella, Head of Man, Newspaper Engraving (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a man with a receding hairline and a tuft of hair on top of his head. He wears a striped suit with a large bow at his neck, striped pants, and knee-high boots. The man holds an open umbrella in one hand and a bunch of flowers in the other. He stands on a platform. The background has minimal shading and includes a few spots and smudges. There are two smaller drawings on the page, one in the upper left corner of an old man and one in the lower left corner of foliage. A curved line of illegible text appears above the man's head.
