Think you’re a true classic cinema buff? This sketch quiz features four legendary faces drawn in striking black-and-white pencil, and one of them belongs to a famous actor from the golden age of movies. Can you identify the iconic star before you scroll down?
Take a Closer Look at the Sketches
Each portrait is drawn in simple pencil strokes, with no color to distract you. Start with Person #1 in the top left, then move across the grid to Person #2, Person #3, and Person #4.
Look at the hairstyles, the shape of the jaw, and the way each face is framed. Vintage portrait styles can reveal a lot about the era a performer rose to fame.
Clues From the Era
The overall look points to the studio age of Hollywood, when movie stars were known for polished publicity portraits and carefully styled hair. Many of the most memorable leading men and women from that time share a similar glamour, which makes this quiz especially tricky.
If you grew up watching black-and-white films on late-night television, you may recognize the style right away.
