Sepia wash drawing: a young man leaning against a tree beside sheep, comforted by a bearded older man with a laurel wreath who holds a scroll.

Telemachus Consoled by Termosiris, Priest of Apollo, Book 2

A young man in a short tunic leans against a tree with his hand to his head, beside grazing sheep and a stout rock. An older bearded man with a laurel wreath, draped in a cloak and holding a scroll, gestures toward him in a shaded wooded setting. The pen-and-ink drawing with brown and gray wash has a sepia tone and an inscription in the lower margin.
