About this work

The painting depicts a man sitting on a chair, with his legs crossed and his hands clasped together. He is wearing a hat, a coat, and pants, and has a beard. The man is sitting on a wooden floor, and there is a cylindrical object with a lid on the left side of the image. The painting is done in pen, brown ink over graphite on wove paper, and it has a realistic style. The artist has used cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the image. The painting is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington. If you're interested in learning more about this style of art, you might want to look into the Realism movement.
