This recto and verso drawing (self-portrait?) in pen comes from the Robert Henri estate, sold originally by Hirschl & Adler Gallery in New York {see initial imprint}. 

Verso is a study of fighters/boxers. Matted in a lovely professional matte. 

"Robert Henri was an American painter and teacher. He was a leading figure of the Ashcan School of American realism and an organizer of the group known as "The Eight," a loose association of artists who protested the restrictive exhibition practices of the powerful, conservative National Academy of Art" (Wikipedia)
