About this work

This small sketch shows an older man standing sideways, wearing loose robes and a tall hat with a feather. He holds a long staff with a curved top, and his face has a bit of pink blush on the cheeks. The background is plain, with just a few brushstrokes for texture. The writing on the left side is in Chinese characters, likely a poem or notes. The paper looks old and slightly worn, with a red stamp in the corner. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like this.
