Artist, Dutch, 1631/1632 - 1664

The image is an etching of a person standing and facing slightly to the left. The individual appears to be hunched forward, possibly leaning on a walking stick with their left hand. The person's facial features are minimal, lacking detailed expression, and they have short, slightly disheveled hair. They are clothed in loose-fitting garments, with a coat or cloak draped over their shoulders. The clothing seems to be simple, composed of loose pants and shoes that resemble sandals. The person is holding a stick. The background is plain, with some sporadic black specks, adding a textured appearance to the otherwise empty and lightly shaded space.
