Mannen, in verschillende houdingen 1900 - 1931

"Mannen, in verschillende houdingen" is a pencil sketch on paper by Willem Bastiaan Tholen, a Dutch painter and draughtsman who lived from 1860-1931. This work, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features numerous sketches of men in various poses. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick and spontaneous study, likely a preliminary sketch for a larger composition. Tholen was known for his sensitive portrayal of everyday life, often depicting figures in simple, intimate settings.
