Visual Summary

Brief Description

Ink drawing of a scowling, bearded man in a robe, lunging with two swords and splayed fingers

Detailed Description

The image is a monochromatic ink drawing depicting a single male figure. The figure is positioned centrally, lunging towards the right with his body angled. He has a scowling expression with furrowed brows, a bald pate, and a full beard and mustache rendered with dark, thick lines. Long, dark hair flows from the sides of his head, extending behind his shoulders. He wears a loose-fitting robe, depicted with broad, dark brushstrokes and lighter gray washes, suggesting folds and volume. A wide sash or belt is visible around his waist, from which two short swords or daggers are tucked, one on each side. His left arm is bent at the elbow, with the hand clenched into a fist near his chest. His right arm is extended outwards to the right, with fingers widely splayed. His legs are bent, indicating a crouching or lunging movement, with the right leg extended further back. The background is a plain, light gray.
