Hand-Drawn Illustration of a Male Figure (Possibly Wrestler)

This item is a hand-drawn illustration depicted on a piece of white paper, possibly a napkin or a small sheet of sketch paper. The artwork features a muscular male figure rendered in black ink, primarily using solid blocks of color and strong outlines, giving it a somewhat graphic novel or stencil-like appearance. The style is reminiscent of a cartoon or comic book character, likely a professional wrestler due to the physique and attire. The figure is shown from the waist up, with arms outstretched, one raised slightly more than the other, suggesting an active pose, perhaps flexing or gesturing to a crowd. He has long, dark hair, a beard, and wears sunglasses, obscuring most facial features. His torso is covered by what appears to be a vest or jacket with the letters 'ET' clearly visible on the front. His arms are muscular and include details that suggest armbands or intricate sleeves. The lower body, visible in part, shows what could be wrestling trunks or similar athletic apparel. The overall coloration is stark black and white. The paper itself appears to be slightly irregular in shape and texture, indicative of a casual drawing surface rather than fine art paper. In the bottom right corner, there is a small signature or initial 'Jw' in black ink. The drawing fills a significant portion of the small paper, which appears to be approximately wallet-sized or slightly larger, resting on a speckled, light-colored countertop. There are no visible signs of significant damage like tears or major creases on the drawing itself, though the casual medium suggests it may not be in pristine condition if heavily handled. The bold lines and simplified forms indicate a direct, confident drawing style, potentially by an amateur artist or a quick sketch by a professional.
