Oude man met een pijp, lezend in een boek Possibly 1934

"Oude man met een pijp, lezend in een boek" is an etching by Elias M. Grossman, a Dutch-American artist, possibly created in 1934. The print depicts an elderly man seated at a table, engrossed in reading a book while smoking a pipe. The artist's use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, characteristic of the etching technique. This intimate portrayal of a man lost in literature speaks to the timeless appeal of reading and introspection, a theme often explored in art.
