Man in a red shirt with hands raised over his head, possibly study of an actor 

This charcoal and wash drawing by the French artist Paul Gavarni (1804-1866) depicts a man in a red shirt with his hands raised above his head, possibly a study of an actor. The drawing is characterized by Gavarni's expressive line work and attention to detail, capturing the energy and emotion of the subject. This sketch, now in the British Museum, is a fascinating glimpse into Gavarni's artistic process and his interest in the human form.
