Print
A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts an elderly man in profile, facing right. Dense, frenzied cross-hatching and layered lines render the rough texture of his heavy coat and dark hat. A large sack weighs on his shoulder, and his hand grips a cane. With a furrowed brow and downcast gaze, his figure recedes into deep shadow, standing in stark relief against the light, empty background of the composition.
