This sketch shows an old man walking away from us. He’s hunched over a cane, wearing a long robe and a tall hat. The lines are loose and quick, almost like a hurried sketch. The background looks like swirling brushstrokes—maybe wind or movement. The artist signed it in the corner, and there’s a tiny stamp too. If you like this style, check out Impressionism.
