Visual Summary

Brief Description

Hunched, bearded man in a loose robe leans on a segmented staff, one bare foot visible

Detailed Description

A drawing depicts a single man, hunched over and leaning on a tall staff, against a plain, light-colored background. The man is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the left side of the frame with his head bowed. He has a long, white beard and mustache, and his face shows subtle red coloring on the cheeks and around the eyes. He wears a loose, flowing robe, rendered with broad black outlines, which drapes around his body. Around his waist, a sash or belt is visible, from which several small objects hang, including a rounded, gourd-like shape and a rectangular pouch with a patterned design. His right hand grips the top of a slender, segmented staff, which extends downwards to the ground. His left foot is visible at the bottom left, bare and appearing to step forward. The artwork primarily uses black ink outlines, with minimal red color accents on the man's face and possibly the staff's handle. Faint handwritten text at the bottom right corner reads: "a Hermit. with cane".
