Unidentified Man 1916

Robert Henri, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School movement, created this charcoal sketch in 1916. The work, "Unidentified Man," captures the essence of a man's portrait with loose, expressive lines and a focus on capturing a likeness. The sketch's simplicity reflects the Ashcan School's emphasis on depicting everyday life and the human form in a raw and realistic manner. Though the subject remains unidentified, the sketch's energetic lines suggest a sense of character and personality.
