Sketched in Berlin and dated 1926, this red-chalk profile carries its own provenance: a handwritten note on the reverse recounts how the sitter met a street artist in a restaurant, had his likeness drawn in minutes, and bought it as a keepsake. The fold lines visible in the sheet likely date to that first day—evidence of a life tucked in a pocket before it was later framed.
