Zittende man met een kruik 1658 - 1706

"Zittende man met een kruik" (Seated Man with a Jug) is an etching created by Wallerant Vaillant between 1658 and 1706. The artwork depicts a man in a relaxed pose, seated on a simple wooden bench, holding a jug in his hands. His expression is one of contentment as he gazes off into the distance, the light source highlighting his features and the surrounding environment. This work is a testament to Vaillant's masterful use of chiaroscuro and the depiction of everyday life, capturing the subtle nuances of human expression.
