Artist, French, 1837 - 1911

The image is an etching showing an elderly man seated against the trunk of a tree with several branches extending around him. The focus is on the upper portion of his body, with his head bowed and his hands resting in his lap, holding a hat. He has a full head of hair and a beard covering his face, which is etched with lines that capture the contours of his expression and features. He is clothed in a draped garment, which appears loose and flowing, covering most of his body. The background is simple, with the prominent tree trunk behind him and minimal details, suggesting an outdoor setting.
