This black-and-white drawing shows a hunched man sitting in a room. He’s holding a small object in one hand and a hat in the other, with his legs crossed. Behind him, a table holds a vase, a few books, and a lamp. The floor has a rug, and his clothes look worn. The artist used shading to show the man’s tired posture and the texture of his clothes. The scene feels quiet and a little lonely. Check out how this was made using lithography.
