JOHN GRAY

BY CHARLES HAZELWOOD SHANNON

This image is a drawing of John Gray, his head and right arm are detailed, and the rest of the image is loosely sketched, fading away further down the page. He is leaning on his right elbow, perhaps by a window, his fist to his forehead and eyes shut. In his left hand is a book, loosely held. Straight dark lines fill the space between his head and arm, contrasting with the rest of the sketch. His hair is combed to the side, it is dark on top and grey on the bottom. He is wearing a heavy overcoat, white shirt sleeves are visible.
