Artist, French, 1867 - 1947

This is an image of a half-length sketch of a person shown from the upper body, seated with their body turned to one side. Their head is slightly tilted downwards, with facial features defined by bold, sketchy lines. The person has facial hair, likely a beard, and their hair appears to be tucked under a flat cap that sits on their head. They are wearing a jacket or coat with a visible collar illustrated with similar sketchy lines. One of their hands rests in front of them, at the bottom edge of the image, with fingers gently curled inwards. The background of the image is mostly plain, with a textured appearance created by additional line work that follows the contours around the person's head and shoulders.
