185 European School (18th Century) – Portrait of a Young Man in a Broad Hat – Sepia Ink Drawing 18th Century

The drawing is signed Gaugel in the lower left, though no firmly attributed artist is known under that name. The overall composition and ink technique place the work within the tradition of continental European studio drawing from the 1700s, often used as reference material or collector’s portraiture. This work likely originates from a series of character studies circulating among artists and collectors of the late 18th century.
