Bode van de Tweede Kamer 1887

This pencil drawing, "Bode van de Tweede Kamer," by Pieter de Josselin de Jong, portrays a man standing in a room with a tall window. The man is likely a messenger, as he is dressed in a formal suit. The figure is depicted in a loose, gestural style, capturing a sense of movement. De Jong's work is known for its dynamism, and this drawing is no exception. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of the subject with a few, simple lines. The piece is on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
