Artist, German, 1858 - 1925

The image shows a person in a three-quarter view, sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other. The person's head is slightly turned and looks in the direction of the viewer. The facial features are rendered with bold lines and shadows. The hair is of medium length and appears to be swept to one side. The person is holding a stringed musical instrument in their lap. The clothing is depicted with flowing lines, though specific details are minimal due to the sketch style. The background consists of vertical lines, hinting at a draped curtain or wall paneling.
