Man zittend op een balkende ezel 1836 - 1912

This small, detailed drawing by Dutch painter Isaac Weissenbruch, titled "Man zittend op een balkende ezel" (Man Sitting on a Donkey), captures a simple rural scene. The artwork, created between 1836 and 1912, is a quick sketch of a man in a broad-brimmed hat, sitting astride a donkey in a landscape setting. Weissenbruch, known for his landscape paintings, uses quick, expressive lines to create a sense of motion and immediacy. The drawing’s subtle details, such as the texture of the donkey’s fur and the man’s clothing, highlight Weissenbruch’s masterful use of line and his keen eye for observation. The small scale of the work adds to its intimacy, emphasizing the close connection between the man and his animal companion.
