Old Man with Staff (from Sketchbook)

John William Casilear

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white sketch of a standing balding man with a beard; wearing a robe; holding a staff. The man faces slightly to the right. He has his weight shifted to his right leg. His right arm is across his body and his left arm holds a staff by the handle which appears to be a metal hook. His left foot is turned out. The man is drawn on a piece of paper with vertical lines. There is a dark border around the image.
