Old Man Caressing a Young Woman is a print by Hans Sebald Beham of the senex amans type.
- "The old man approaches the young woman, and while she appears to be allowing him to embrace her, her hand is shrewdly reaching out for his purse. This satirical subject is referred to as "the ill-matched couple" and was very popular in the 16th century. (Source: The Digital Gallery. 1999-2006) [1]
