This expressive figurative watercolor depicts a seated man in rustic attire, rendered in muted earth tones with soft atmospheric shading. The figure is shown holding a cane, conveying a contemplative and quietly emotive presence. The work is signed and dated in the lower corner, indicating early 20th century origin. Executed on textured paper, the painting demonstrates confident draftsmanship and sensitive handling of watercolor washes. Presented in a wooden frame, this piece offers period character and visual appeal, suitable for collectors of vintage works on paper and figurative art.
