Robert Austin's "Man with a Crucifix" is a pencil drawing from 1924 that depicts a man seated with a crucifix leaning against his shoulder. The drawing is a study of a man in the late stages of life. The artist's use of line conveys the man's weariness and the heaviness of his burden, while the light sketchiness of the drawing hints at the fragility of human life. The image is a powerful example of Austin's ability to capture the human condition in a poignant and sympathetic way.
