About this work

A black-and-grey illustration shows a bearded man with an elaborately patterned mass of hair reading a book inscribed "Incipit Vita Nova" alongside a small, hunched child-like figure with a single visible eye. The composition uses stark dark fields, patterned rosette motifs, and stylised cloud shapes.
