Magician Healing a Sick Man, Pen and Brown Ink Drawing

A bearded man reclines on a couch in the foreground, his head resting on his hand, while a robed attendant raises an arm above a steaming bowl set on a table. A seated figure gestures toward the vessel at left, and rising vapor fills the smoky, shadowed room. Pen, brown ink, and wash with white heightening on tan paper.
