Sweet Sixteen (?)
1899

A sketch of a profile view of an elderly person with a prominent nose and receding hairline, tied back into a small bun. The person is wearing a patterned garment with a high collar. Below the sketch, the words "SWEET SIXTEEN (?)" are written, suggesting irony. The artist's signature is visible on the right side. The drawing is framed within a simple rectangular border on a cream-colored paper.
