The Bagpipe Player (drawing, recto; calligraphy, verso)
View through Harvard Museums
This drawing depicts a middle-aged man sitting on a rock and playing a bagpipe; clouds, tinted in blue, appear at the upper left corner. The man is hunched over his musical instrument, holding it close to his body. He gazes into the distance, his eyebrows tense with concentration as he blows air into the bagpipe.
