About this work
An elderly man with a deeply lined, weathered face laughs broadly, showing gapped teeth, his head crowned with a loose wreath of leaves that suggests the character of a satyr. Wisps of grey hair and a stubbled chin add to the rustic, earthy impression of the figure.
Built from vigorous black strokes and cross-hatching against bare cream paper, the drawing models every wrinkle and fold of skin with strong tonal contrast. The loose, energetic linework and the animated, toothy grin give the character a jovial, mischievous presence.
