Bandontwerp voor: N.S. Ljeskow, De onsterfelijke, 1965 before 1965

This is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Karel Thole. It is a preliminary design for an illustration to a book, *De onsterfelijke* (The Immortal), published by N.S. Ljeskow before 1965. The image depicts a lone figure, drawn in charcoal, sitting on a hillside with a staff in their hand and looking towards a town in the distance. This artwork exemplifies Thole's expressive use of line and his ability to convey a sense of drama and mystery.
