Original ink sketch accomplished by Victor Hugo off-white 2.75 x 4.25 slip, showing a man decked out in formal attire, standing in a profile pose and wearing a top hat. In fine condition. Known as an adept draughtsman, Hugo's works of art—drawn with everything from pen and ink to soot and coffee grounds—have been the subject of several magnificent exhibitions. Just the second sketch by Hugo we have offered—this is an exemplary piece.
