Joost van den Vondel, zittend 1678 - 1679

Philips Koninck's "Joost van den Vondel, zittend" (1678-1679) is a detailed pen-and-ink drawing depicting the Dutch poet Joost van den Vondel seated in a chair. Koninck, known for his portraits and landscapes, captures Vondel in a contemplative pose, his head bowed and hands clasped. This intimate portrait, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the life and personality of a prominent figure in Dutch literature.
