Rustende marskramer met aardewerk in zijn korf 1862

"Resting peddler with earthenware in his basket" is a sepia drawing on paper by Pieter van Loon, created in 1862. The drawing depicts a man resting on a rocky outcrop, his basket of pottery balanced on his back. His relaxed posture, with one hand on his staff and the other resting on his knee, suggests the weariness of a long journey. This work is a poignant example of van Loon's talent for capturing the daily lives of ordinary people, showcasing his skill in depicting figures and landscapes with delicate, expressive strokes.
