This etching depicts a black-and-white portrait of a man shown from the chest up. He wears a tall top hat, round eyeglasses, and a neatly trimmed mustache. He is dressed in a collared shirt, dark tie, and an unrendered overcoat with broad lapels. The drawing uses loose, sketchy lines and heavy shading around the face and hat. His expression is calm and serious, and he looks directly toward the viewer. Much of the lower part of the coat is only lightly outlined, leaving large areas of white space. Overall, the image has a simple, elegant, and slightly rough, expressive quality, resembling a quickly sketched portrait etching .Type of Print
