Tom Mueller
1975

A sketch on paper featuring a detailed drawing of a bearded man in profile view on the left, with his hand resting on his chest. To the right, there is an unfinished sketch of what appears to be the same man's hand holding an open book. The top of the paper has the text "TOM WESSELMANN 1970" handwritten in capital letters. In the bottom right corner, there is a red stamp with Asian characters. The paper shows signs of wear and age with perforations along the left edge, suggesting it was once part of a spiral-bound pad.
