Oil on canvas, 35.5 x 25.5 inches (2023)

A warrior, upon reaching old age, feels his mind begin to simplify, shedding desires and passions. Everything loses meaning: the hunt, the wine, love—even war. He contemplates suicide with meticulous care, until one day, a young woman—through her mere presence—restores his will to live.
