"The Crazy Old Man" is a 1949 woodcut by American artist Fritz Eichenberg, known for his distinct illustrative style. The artwork depicts an elderly man in a long coat, walking away from the viewer towards a window. His features are obscured by the shadows, and his hunched posture and flowing garments lend him an air of mystery. The presence of a small rat in the foreground adds an element of darkness and intrigue to the composition. Eichenberg's use of bold lines and stark contrasts creates a sense of drama and depth, typical of his work in the woodcut medium.
