Man in oud huis, naar buiten kijkend over de deur 1778 - 1838

"Man in oud huis, naar buiten kijkend over de deur" is a drawing by Dutch artist Anthonie van den Bos, created between 1778 and 1838. The drawing depicts a man standing in the doorway of a dilapidated building, looking out at the viewer. The building is rendered in detail, with its crumbling brickwork and boarded-up windows, giving a sense of neglect and ruin. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The depiction of a solitary figure in a desolate setting, combined with the detailed rendering of the architectural features, gives the drawing a melancholic and evocative quality.
