Visual Summary

Brief Description

A monochrome drawing of an old man with a beard sitting on a large cloud, holding an object

Detailed Description

This monochrome drawing depicts an old man seated on a large, swirling cloud formation. The artwork is rendered in light pencil or ink lines on a pale, uncolored background. The man, positioned slightly above the center of the image, faces towards the right. He has a visible beard. His mouth is open, and his cheeks are raised, narrowing his eyes. He wears loose, flowing robes that drape around his body. His left hand, raised near his chest, holds a small, indistinct object, possibly a flower or a fruit. His right hand rests on his right knee. The cloud formation occupies the lower half of the composition, extending upwards to support the man. It is depicted with multiple layers of undulating, soft lines, forming a voluminous shape. The background above and around the figure is left blank.
