The Gentleman
1969

A vintage-style illustration depicting a man with a solemn expression standing in the foreground, wearing a dark coat and a fur hat, with his arms crossed. Behind him, a group of people with various expressions appear to be observing or waiting, set against a backdrop of simple houses under a blue sky. The artwork has a textured, sketch-like quality, and there are signatures at the bottom.
