(Study of a Man Sitting on a Bench)
n.d.

A sketch on aged paper depicting a person reclining on a bench, with the figure's upper body propped up by one arm while the other hand rests on the bench. The lines are expressive and loosely drawn, capturing the casual posture of the figure. The bench is detailed with vertical slats, and the background is mostly blank, emphasizing the subject.
