Charon crossing the Styx

This work depicts an expressive portrait of a man seen from the front, with his arms raised above his head. The drawing primarily uses pen or ink lines, with shades of ochre for the face, contrasting with the rest of the body, which is rendered in black and white. The style is both precise and sketchy, highlighting the details of the face and hands. The composition creates a sense of dramatic tension, accentuated by the figure’s posture and the serious expression on his face.
