Master of the Pequod 1967

"Master of the Pequod" is a 1967 lithograph by American artist Benton Spruance. The print features a portrait of a man with a prominent nose, wearing a hat, and a long, twisting line descending from his shoulder.

The work is often seen as a study in form, utilizing simple lines and a limited color palette to convey emotion and character.
