Artwork source: Public domain (The Calculating Old Man, Paul Klee, 1929, etching) - The Cleveland Museum of Art 1978.18, Open Access CC0 · View the original. Reproduced in full from an archival scan of the public-domain original — not redrawn, not AI-generated.

An old man counts on his fingers, his bald head and long nose drawn in one wandering line over fine horizontal hatching, his round eyes fixed on the sum. Paul Klee made this etching in 1929 and signed it in pencil. This print reproduces the original, now in the public domain, from a high-resolution open-access image by The Cleveland Museum of Art (CC0).
