A portrait of an old sage sitting in an old library, charcoal drawing on paper emphasizing textures and shadows. The style is minimalist, where only the most important features and details are depicted. The composition places the wise man's face in the center, with the books in a blurred background. Colors are limited to shades of charcoal gray with some white highlights around the eyes and face. Illumination is a single beam of light that falls on the face, highlighting signs of wisdom such as wrinkles and a deep gaze. --ar 1:2
