Staande man 1710 - 1772

"Staande man" is a red chalk drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, a Dutch artist active in the 18th century. Created between 1710 and 1772, the piece captures the essence of Rococo portraiture with its delicate lines and emphasis on the sitter's elegance. The figure, likely a gentleman of the period, is depicted in a relaxed pose, suggesting a snapshot of daily life. This drawing demonstrates van Reysschoot's mastery of capturing likeness and conveying personality through subtle details like the sitter's powdered wig and fashionable clothing.
