Standing Philosopher and Two Other Figures, from Capricci

An etching shows a bearded, cloaked standing figure reading or holding a large open book at a tall pedestal, beside a seated man in a turban and a reclining figure at the water's edge. A jar, a lamp, and a scatter of tools and debris fill the foreground, under loose, feathery lines.
