Drawing – a study of a human figure. It depicts a Jewish man from the back, wearing a dark coat and a dark hat, with long payot visible under the hat. On the right, there is an outline of a fence (?) with crooked pickets. In the bottom right corner, there is a small sketch of a male figure in a long coat and a hat, drawn in contour lines. The dark elements of the sketch are filled in with hatching.

Bruno Tepa (1865–1898) was born and died in Lviv. He was the nephew of Franciszek Tepa (1829–1889). He was first tutored by his uncle and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków under Izydor Jabłoński. He also spent some time in Munich. He created drawings, watercolours, caricatures.

Bruno Tepa’s sketches form part of the prewar collection of the National Museum of Przemyśl. Due to missing inventory documentation it has been impossible to determine how it became property of the Museum.
