"Old Man with a Walking Stick," an etching by Wilhelm Leibl, was created between 1875 and 1877. The artwork features a close-up portrait of an elderly man, with his weathered face and wrinkled hands prominently displayed. Leibl's meticulous detail and realistic portrayal of the subject are characteristic of his style, which was highly influential in German Realism. This powerful etching, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, captures the dignity and resilience of a man marked by time.
