The Elegant Elderly Gentleman

One more trip to the street market in Athens ...
This is a a quick pencil study of an elderly gentleman I found waiting patiently at a stall at the market in Athens, Greece those many years ago.
He was dressed elegantly in a dove grey suit -- a bit frayed, a bit large.  He did possess an air of forgotten style among the rest of us in jeans, sweatshirts and miscellaneous street clothes.
My next challenge -- a watercolor painting of him.  For now the pencil sketch will continue to nag me to get to work on him as it hangs on the wall in the studio.
