Staande visser 1809 - 1869

"Staande visser" (Standing Fisherman), a pencil drawing by Alexander Cranendoncq, is a realistic depiction of a fisherman holding a basket. The artist, who was born in 1799 and died in 1869, captured the man's tired posture and the details of his clothing, such as his hat and the sailor's collar on his jacket. The simple composition and subdued tones create a sense of realism, making the viewer feel like they are observing a real-life scene. This drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum.
