This is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Holswilder, depicting a caricature portrait of Elchanon Verveer, a fellow artist, looking at a painting he made featuring a subject from Scheveningen. The drawing, dated between 1860 and 1890, portrays Verveer in a relaxed pose, smoking a pipe and casually looking at the canvas. Holswilder's use of loose lines creates a dynamic and informal style, capturing the essence of the subject in a humorous yet realistic manner.
