About this work

This drawing shows an older man with a long white beard and curly gray hair. He’s wearing a red robe over a white shirt, and his hands are clasped together in front of him. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out clearly. The artist used soft lines to show wrinkles and texture in his hair and beard. The colors are simple—mostly red, white, and shades of gray—with no extra details around him. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create depth with lines.
