Slapende man met hoed 1618 - 1655

"Slapende man met hoed" (Sleeping Man with a Hat) is a pen and ink drawing by Cornelis Schut, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist. Created between 1618 and 1655, the artwork depicts a figure in repose, with the focus on the detailed rendering of the man's form and the expressive lines that capture the contours of his body. The drawing's delicate lines and expressive shading convey a sense of both stillness and subtle movement, characteristic of Schut's style. This small yet striking artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the artist's mastery of draftsmanship and his ability to capture human form with great sensitivity.
