Portrait of an Aging Man

Cleveland Museum of Art

Portrait of an Aging Man by Marten de Vos. The image depicts a simple line drawing of an older man on aged paper. The man has short hair combed backwards with some wisps on top. He has a rounded face with sunken eyes, a small nose and thin lips. The man has a belly, wears a short sleeved tunic and a head covering. The drawing is mostly a sketch with faint lines; some shading on his face and a curl of his tunic are more defined. Some sketch marks and smudges are visible on the paper. The paper is light brown. The man faces left.
