Portrait of an old man with top-hat

A charcoal drawing shows an elderly man in a tall black top hat and heavy dark coat, seen in three-quarter view, with a wrinkled, sombre face and downcast gaze. Soft, smudged tonal shading builds the rounded forms against a pale, unworked background, with a faint signature in the lower left corner.

Español: Retrato de un anciano con sombrero de copa

Un dibujo a carboncillo muestra a un hombre mayor con un sombrero de copa alto y negro y un abrigo oscuro y pesado, visto en tres cuartos, con el rostro arrugado y la mirada baja. El sombreado suave y difuminado modela las formas sobre un fondo claro y sin trabajar, con una firma apenas visible en la esquina inferior izquierda.
