This drawing shows a man holding a large jug under one arm. He’s dressed in a short tunic with a belt and a cloak draped over his shoulders. His hat sits low on his head, and his legs are bare below the knee. The lines here are sharp and precise, with some areas filled in darker to show shadows. This kind of careful linework is typical of engravings from that time. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this made detailed prints.
