Zittende middeleeuwse ridder in harnas 1837

Nicaise de Keyser’s "Zittende middeleeuwse ridder in harnas" is a graphite and wash drawing depicting a knight in full armor, seated in a medieval setting. The drawing, completed in 1837, demonstrates De Keyser's interest in historical subjects and his ability to depict detail. The knight is seated in a posture of repose, perhaps after a battle, with his shield resting beside him and a sword at his side. The drawing’s composition and detail capture the chivalry and grandeur of the era, making it a compelling work of art for fans of history and medievalism.
