Description: A vigorous brush-and-ink portrait of an older man, seen half-length in a jacket and tie, his head tilted upward, modelled in broad, gestural strokes of black wash against the bare paper — an expressionist, spontaneous likeness (possibly a portrait of the collector himself).  Signed and dedicated by hand.
