"Geknielde jongen bij een vrouw op een stoel" is an 1818 engraving by Philippus Velijn. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a young man kneeling before a seated woman. The scene is likely inspired by a romantic or literary narrative, with the composition emphasizing the gesture of the man's devotion. The engraving's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of intimacy and pathos, characteristic of 19th-century printmaking. Velijn, known for his illustrative work, captured a poignant moment in this miniature artwork.
