National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man reclining on a bed. He has dark, medium-length hair, a beard, and a mustache. He is wearing a long-sleeved top and partially covered with a blanket. The room is simply furnished, with a metal bed frame visible. The man is lying on a bed with a pillow behind him. The background shows a textured wall surface. The lighting casts a shadow of the man on the wall. The etching style emphasizes shadows and textures.
