Staande mannen en een scheepsmodel 1846

This pencil drawing, created in 1846 by Dutch artist Pieter van Loon (1801-1873), depicts three figures - two standing men, one with a basket and another with a coat, and a ship model - all in a simple, sketched style. The artwork is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum and offers a glimpse into van Loon’s artistic practice, where he explored everyday subjects and figures with a focus on capturing their form and character. This drawing, with its loose lines and subtle shading, demonstrates the artist's ability to convey a sense of realism and movement through quick observation.
