De Franschman 1923

"De Franschman" is a 1923 charcoal drawing by German artist Erich Wichmann. The work depicts a profile portrait of a man, executed in a loose and gestural style, characteristic of Wichmann's work. The artist's signature, alongside the year, can be seen in the lower right corner of the composition. While the drawing is small, it shows the artist's adeptness at capturing expressive human features with economy of line and form.
