About this work
A bald man with a thick mustache and deeply lined face is shown from the shoulders up, turned slightly away with his gaze directed past the viewer. His neck and shoulders are lightly indicated, while the head is fully modeled with attention to the folds of the face. Handwritten notes and a circled numeral in the margins mark it as a student academic exercise.
Worked in graphite and chalk on olive-toned paper, the drawing builds form through soft cross-hatched shading and blended tone rather than hard outline, with brighter chalk highlights on the brow, nose and shoulder. The sepia-and-olive range keeps focus on volume and structure over color, giving the study a grounded, observant character typical of academic figure training.
