Zittende en staande man in een herberg 1770 - 1825

"Zittende en staande man in een herberg" (Seated and Standing Man in an Inn), a graphite sketch on paper by Simon Andreas Krausz, is a quick, gestural study. The artist, born in 1760, captures the informality of a scene in a tavern, likely a tavern in the Netherlands, as he was a Dutch artist. The loose lines and hatching suggest a fleeting moment, capturing the spontaneity of the artist’s observation. The artwork measures 135 mm in height and 101 mm in width. This sketch demonstrates Krausz's talent for capturing the human form and the atmosphere of a scene with just a few strokes.
