'The Old Man of Corfu', an illustration by JVL in The Nonsense Verse of Edward Lear,
Jonathan Cape, 1984 and reissued in 2012.
This drawing is a portrait of Edward Lear himself, rushing about in a bewildered state about the environs of Corfu.
Here is the poem:
There was an Old Man of Corfu,
Who never knew what he should do;
So he rushed up and down, till the sun made him brown,
That bewildered Old Man of Corfu.
