Seated old man 1498

Leonardo da Vinci's "Seated Old Man" is a silverpoint drawing created in 1498. Da Vinci is known for his detailed anatomical studies and his interest in human form. This drawing showcases his masterful portrayal of the human figure, capturing the intricate details of wrinkles, folds, and musculature. The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger work, depicts a seated elderly man, his hand resting on his chin, lost in thought.
