Black and white ink drawing of a seated man and a standing child under huge gnarled trees, with a sleeping dog at lower right.

Old man and child beneath a tree with a sleeping dog, 1802

Dense hatched linework renders a seated figure in pale robes beside a standing child beneath huge gnarled tree trunks, with a dog sleeping on the ground at lower right. A wooden fence recedes into shadowy woodland behind them, and a signature and date sit at lower right.
