本幅人物為全身坐像，食籃擺放地上，老者雙目呆滯乏神，眼中前景上片茫然，壹把年紀尚竟日勞碌營役，被生活重擔圧得喘不過氣。以水墨寫成，特別註重畫面整體光暗明晦的對比，從而凸顯老者臉部輪廓，衣履以至手部的肌理質感，淡墨擦染效果尤見明顯，充分反映畫家堅實的西畫素描基礎，與國畫筆墨技法融匯，更遠至傳神狀物的高妙境界。

        The figure is a full-body portrait, and the food basket is placed on the ground. The old man’s eyes are dull and stunned. The prospects in the eyes are stunned. A young man is still working hard and he is overwhelmed by the heavy burden of life. It is written in ink and washes, paying special attention to the contrast of the whole picture, which highlights the contours of the old man's face, the texture of the clothing and even the hands, and the light ink dyeing effect is especially obvious, which fully reflects the artist's solid western painting sketch foundation. The brush and ink technique of the country blends, farther away to the high-level realm of the gods.
