A meticulously executed pencil sketch portrays the character-strewn face of a rugged, older man. His profound gaze is filled with layers of untold stories, while deep lines etch out a testament to a life well-lived. Careful shading brings depth to the scene while his defining features - a hat, long hair - are etched sharply in contrast, pushing the boundaries of reality. This evocative image employs the subtlety of light and darkness to portray age, wisdom, and melancholia.
