About this work
A muscular older man stands frontally with a cloth wrapped around his hips, gripping a long pole or oar that rises past his shoulder with both hands crossed at the top. His bearded head turns slightly downward and to the side, and his weight rests on a low wooden support beneath his feet, the rest of the setting left undefined in darkness.
The drawing is worked in charcoal and dark chalk on toned paper, with white or light chalk building the highlights on chest, arms and legs against deep, velvety blacks. The modeling is broad and academic, emphasizing anatomy and the play of light over the torso, giving the figure a solemn, weathered presence suited to a ferryman of legend.
