Zittende oude man met de handen op een stoelleuning 1621 - 1642

This drawing, "Zittende oude man met de handen op een stoelleuning," created between 1621 and 1642 by Dutch artist Andries Both (1612-1641), depicts an elderly man seated with his hands resting on a chair's armrest. The delicate, hatched lines and the overall simplicity of the composition create a sense of quiet contemplation. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of Both's mastery of drawing, showcasing his ability to capture the subtle nuances of human form and expression with remarkable precision.
