Artist, Welsh, 1878 - 1961

This print depicts the head and shoulders of a man with his torso facing the right and his head turned towards us. His gaze is directed slightly up and to the left of us. He has curly hair, a thick beard, and a curling mustache, all depicted with thin, dark lines. He has prominent eyebrows, deep-set eyes, high cheekbones, and a sloping nose. Below his neck, his torso is loosely depicted with cross-hatching lines. The background is empty aside from some light sketch marks surrounding the man's face.
