A single key frame from a modern premium 2D hand-drawn animated film, in the exact drawing style of images 1 to 3: bold simple graphic shapes, big solid flat colour masses, fine ink lines, flat gouache texture. Image 1 is the location, the same pale stone townhouse front with the glossy black door and black wall lantern. Image 2 shows the man at four ages; here he is the third version: thick full copper beard streaked with grey, grey temples, the same long black overcoat, open white shirt and closed black umbrella. Image 3 shows the street sweeper on the right: tall, pot-bellied, huge grey walrus moustache, faded teal work jacket, brown fur ear-flap hat, long twig broom. Wide 16:9, a medium shot from the waist up, autumn, overcast grey day, a few red autumn leaves drifting. On the left edge, part of the black front door and the black wall lantern. In the centre the man stands perfectly still like a statue in three-quarter view, one hand on the curved handle of his closed umbrella, the other hand in his coat pocket, eyes fixed straight ahead, a few red autumn leaves lying on his shoulders and in his hair. On the right the sweeper stands side-on to the man, holding his twig broom up high in both hands and brushing the leaves off the man's nearest shoulder, exactly as if dusting a public statue, with a bored grumpy face, looking only at the shoulder. Each person has exactly two arms and two hands. No text, no letters.
