'Charity with an Old Man', c1625. The female figure of Charity is seated on the ground in the centre surrounded by three small children who clamber over her. On the right an old man in a turban leans towards the figures. This is a fine example of Guercino's mastery of pen and ink with brown wash. Rapid pen strokes outline the forms but it is his use of colour wash which gives the sketch its substance, from the dark shadows cast on the belly of the child behind the urn, to the dazzling white of the man's billowing shirt as it catches the sunlight.
