"Zittende boer die pijp rookt" (Sitting Peasant Smoking a Pipe), a red chalk drawing by Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk, depicts a peasant man in a relaxed pose, seated on a stone with his hand resting on his chin. Created in 1806, this work is an example of Troostwijk's talent for capturing the everyday life of common people. The detailed rendering of the peasant's clothing, his posture, and the subtle play of light and shadow create a sense of realism and intimacy. The drawing is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
