Description
A bald, heavyset old man with a deeply wrinkled, scowling face sits cross-legged, rendered in loose black-ink outline on toned paper with no added color. He wears a large, simply draped robe and looks down toward a small object held in his hands, with a covered cup or jar resting on the ground beside him. The sketch-like brushwork is loose and gestural, with the paper's edges visibly torn or irregular.
