Oosterse geleerde aan een tafel 1641 - 1656

Salomon Koninck's "Oosterse geleerde aan een tafel" (1641-1656) depicts a seated scholar, likely an Oriental figure, in a richly detailed interior setting. The drawing, executed in brown ink, showcases Koninck's skill in capturing the subtle play of light and shadow across the figure, creating a sense of depth and volume. The scholar’s attire and the ornate furniture hint at a life of learning and refinement. This small-scale drawing, only 157mm high and 178mm wide, is a testament to Koninck's ability to convey expressive detail with precision.
