Twee studies van een zittende man met hoed 1855 - 1881

"Twee studies van een zittende man met hoed" (Two studies of a seated man with a hat) is a pen and ink drawing by Coen Metzelaar, a Dutch artist known for his realistic depictions of daily life. The artwork features two studies of a man, one in full detail and the other a more gestural sketch. The detailed study shows the man seated, holding a cane, with his face captured in a thoughtful expression. This drawing, created between 1855 and 1881, is a testament to Metzelaar's skill in capturing the nuances of human form and character. The artwork's intimate scale of 243 mm x 170 mm allows for close examination of the details and offers a glimpse into the artist's observational approach.
