Old Man Meditating is a 1762 ink by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts an old man with a long white beard, sitting in contemplation. He is dressed in simple, dark robes and has a gentle expression on his face. The background is a soft, muted color that helps to focus attention on the subject. The old man's eyes are cast downward, and his hands are clasped together in his lap. He appears to be lost in thought, and the overall mood of the painting is one of quiet reflection. This painting is a great example of the Romanticism movement.
