Old Man in Meditation, Leaning on a Book

An elderly bearded man in a close-fitting cap and fur-trimmed robe leans forward in profile on a stone ledge, his hands clasped and his gaze turned to the right. Fine, loose pen lines and dense diagonal hatching in the lower right suggest a shadowed surface, all rendered in an etching on pale paper.
