拍品專文

Drawn with great speed and accuracy, this small drawing displays Menzel’s exceptional talent in capturing sitter’s portraits on the spot. He made the drawing, as he often did, on his own business card, dated it to the 25th of December and wrote his congratulations, presumably to the sitter, on the verso of his card.
