Irish Fisherman

John Wesley Jarvis

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a man standing with his legs turned slightly to the side. He is leaning forward and appears to be pointing or holding something with his right hand. The man's facial features are detailed, with a thoughtful expression. He has short hair and is wearing a coat, waistcoat, hat, and scarf. He has a strap across his chest holding a cylindrical container and a bag on his left hip. The background is blank, emphasizing the man's attire and posture in this monochromatic drawing.
