Old Man in Sorrow

Subtitle : life is a losing game:


Of course, the idea of this pencil sketch is not my original.
Vicent Van Gogh sketched it in Nov 1882. It was half meter high and 1/3 meter wide, quite large indeed. In May 1890 Van Gogh painted even larger version of 'old man in sorrow' which almost doubled that black chalk sketch’s size (81cmx65cm). And the oil paint version of 'old man in sorrow' was the one with greater renown.
Ok, Van Gogh did a better job than me, and I guess that is quite alright =D
