Description:
This fine pencil drawing portrays a touching scene between an elderly man in traditional dress and a small child, which he is holding lovingly. The relationship between the figures is emphasised by the gentle gestures and the eye contact. A rural scene is suggested in the background, with an undefined wooden object in the foreground. The lines are dynamic and show a skilful hand.
