Artist, British, 1872 - 1945

This is a sketch of a man from the shoulders up. The man is shown in a three-quarter view, slightly turned to his right, with his head tilted back, looking directly at the viewer. He has a round face with pronounced cheekbones, deep-set eyes behind round spectacles, a strong chin, and thin lips. His hair is short and appears to be receding on the sides. The man is dressed in a formal suit with a collared shirt and necktie, holding what appears to be a drawing board or canvas in his left hand. The background is plain with a slightly textured surface typical of sketchpaper, without discernible details or objects.
