Etching of an elderly bearded man asleep leaning on a draped table, with a dog lying at his feet in a rough landscape.

Old Man Asleep by a Table with His Dog, Etching by Francesco Londonio

An etching shows an elderly man in a beret dozing with his head resting on his arm against a draped table, a bottle and bowl beside him. His bare-footed legs stretch out while a dog lies alertly at his feet on the ground.
