Pen and brown ink sketch of an elderly bearded man in a cloak seated at a lectern with an open book.

Jan Cornelisz Sylvius, the Preacher

A pen and brown ink drawing on pale paper shows an elderly bearded man in a cloak and ruff seated at a lectern, leaning forward over an open book. His hand rests near the page as he turns his head, and the loose strokes leave much of the setting empty.

Español: Predicador barbudo ante un atril, dibujo a pluma y tinta

Un dibujo a pluma y tinta parda sobre papel claro muestra a un hombre mayor con barba, con capa y cuello de volantes, sentado ante un atril y inclinado sobre un libro abierto. Sus trazos sueltos dejan casi vacío el entorno, y su mano se apoya cerca de la página mientras gira la cabeza.

Português: Pregador barbudo diante de um atril, desenho a pena e tinta

Um desenho a pena e tinta marrom sobre papel claro mostra um homem idoso e barbudo, com capa e gola franzida, sentado diante de um atril e inclinado sobre um livro aberto. Os traços soltos deixam o entorno quase vazio, e sua mão repousa perto da página enquanto ele vira a cabeça.
