The drawings of the prolific draftsman Pietro Longhi concentrate on the details of costume and gesture to convey the character and social class of his subjects. Here, the artist skillfully exploits black chalk to render the cut of a man’s frock coat and red chalk to simulate the flesh tones of his hand gripping a walking stick.
