About this work
A bare-chested man leans forward with both forearms braced on a ledge, chin resting on his fist, his gaze turned sideways with a weary, downcast expression. He wears an oversized jester's cap with two long checkered horns tipped with bells, its patterned fabric contrasting with the loosely draped cloth over one shoulder.
Worked in dense, cross-hatched pencil and chalk on toned paper, the drawing builds deep shadow in the folds of skin and cloth while leaving the pale ground for the lightest highlights. Careful academic modeling of the anatomy contrasts with the whimsical costume, and the sitter's tired, unsmiling face gives this study of a clown a quietly melancholic undertone.
