Artist, Norwegian, 1863 - 1944

The image shows a charcoal drawing of a man's face and upper body. The man is facing forward, with facial features depicted through strong shadowing and expressive lines, giving a rugged appearance. He has a beard and a neutral to slightly stern expression. He is wearing a wide-brimmed hat that casts a shadow over part of his face, particularly his eyes. The man is dressed in a loose garment with minimal detail. There are no visible objects or pieces of jewelry. The background is plain, with light shading suggesting a studio setting.
