This was sketched around a dozen years ago and is approximately 5" x 7". I sketched it directly in ink with a fude nib fountain pen. For those who are unfamiliar with a fude nib, it is a nib where the business end is bent. By changing the angle at which the nib makes contact with the paper, one can vary the line thickness considerably. I damaged the pen soon after I had sketched this and therefore this was one of the last few sketches that I made at that time with this pen.

I am grateful to Lisilk for the reference photograph.

Wow! This is terrific. The textures and the glasses are really well done. Your work never disappoints.
