The Sailor

The image is an etching depicting an elderly man with a contemplative expression, dressed in a wide-brimmed hat and a collared garment, with intricate lines capturing the texture of his beard and deep-set eyes, creating a sense of depth and character in the artwork, while the sketch's borders are marked with initials and faint handwritten notes at the bottom, suggesting both the artist's personal touch and the piece's title, "The Sailor".
