An ink and wash sketch on a vertically oriented notebook page, spiral rings visible along the left, depicts a man from behind. He wears a rounded hat and bulky coat. Heavy, gestural black strokes and diagonal hatching define deep shadows, thinning to grayed washes. Fragmented lines to either side suggest a sparse interior. The drawing emphasizes expressive line work against cream paper, focusing on the figure's silhouette and the heavy texture of his outerwear.
