Sketch of a Man

Paul Gavarni

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a standing person with their hands in the pockets of their jacket. The person is facing forward with a slightly hunched posture, head slightly tilted downward. The face shows detailed features like a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, and an open mouth. The person wears a cap covering most of their hair, a loose jacket, baggy pants, and simple shoes. There are no visible accessories or items in their hands. The background is plain with faint scribbled lines and light brown spots scattered on the textured surface.
