Amidst the enchanting tales of 'Little Brother & Little Sister,' the long-bearded figure from 'The Hut in the Forest' is but one of many mystical beings. In Plate 20 from 'Thus the Eternal Prophet was divided,' an old man's wisdom is personified through his lengthy white beard. The study of 'Heads of an Old Man' (c. 1612) captures the intricacies of age and the stories it carries. From the fairy tale 'Snow-White and Rose-Red,' the long-bearded man offers kindness and protection. In the portrait of 'Revolutionary Count Piotr Kropotkin' (1919), the revolutionary's long beard signifies wisdom and commitment to change. A magician's theatrical costume design for Louis XIV's celebrations and parties showcases a long-bearded figure of illusion and wonder. In the 'Mr Hanko Hanko shi title object series,' a ten-print exploration of the long white beard as an art form. Eadweard Muybridge's black and white photograph (1890) captures a moment in time, a long-bearded man in contemplation. In the design for 'Ode on the Spring' from 'The Poems of Thomas Gray' (1797-98), the long-bearded figure embodies the renewal of life. And in the simplest of forms, a naked man with a long beard kneels, hands on the ground, a testament to the power of nature and the passage of time.
