Bearded wizard smoking a long pipe
A bearded figure in a broad pointed hat smoking a long pipe, seen in profile — a wizard drawn as caricature, the beard taking up most of the sheet.
Horizontal, the head filling the whole width and cropped at the back of the hat. The pipe runs out to the right and its bowl closes that edge, so the drawing reads along a single axis from brim to bowl.
Cobalt and cerulean through the hat and beard against a face in viridian and sap green, with sienna and rose at the nose and cheek. One stroke of cadmium orange marks the pipe stem in the mouth.
Pen line first and fast, with the beard built from dozens of parallel drawn strokes rather than washed. The colour is flooded inside the line afterwards and left to run past it at the edges.
Watercolour with pen and ink on sketchbook paper. Transparent throughout, the lights all bare sheet.
No signature visible within the drawn area.
