Man Leaning on a Rail [verso]

Matteo Rosselli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a sketch of a person with their legs and feet fading into undeveloped lines. The person is in a partially turned position to the right with one arm extended. The facial features are roughly sketched, suggesting a profile view. The person appears to be wearing a hat with a brim, and their hair looks curly or wavy. The clothing consists of loose-fitting historical European fashion, including puffy sleeves, a high collar, a doublet with button details, and voluminous trousers or breeches. The sketch is done in red chalk on textured paper, with no background elements.
