Portrait d'Ambroise Vollard (Portrait of Ambroise Vollard)

Jean-Louis Forain

National Gallery of Art

The image is a sketch of a man shown from the waist up. He is seated and slightly turned towards his right side with his head inclined downwards. The man has a rounded face with a prominent forehead and a full beard. He appears to have balding hair with short hair around the sides. His attire is implied through shaded lines resembling a suit or formal wear. There are no visible accessories or held objects. The background is plain, matching the color of the sketching paper. The drawing style features loose, sketchy lines to depict the man's form and posture.
