Auguste Rodin

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a detailed illustration of a man's profile view. The man has a prominent nose, a full beard, and his eyes are partially closed. His head is turned to the right, revealing a receding hairline with short hair on the back. He appears to be wearing a garment like a cloak or robe. The background is plain, in a light color, and there are no discernible patterns or objects. The sketch is in a soft, textured style with varying line thickness, and the artist's signature is in the bottom right corner.
