About this work

A black ink line drawing on pale paper shows a fierce, bald, bearded figure in billowing robes, one arm raised above the head and the other extended outward with clawed fingers. The energetic, swirling contour lines of the garments and the scowling expression suggest a religious or legendary figure.
