Mansfiguur 1875 - 1900

"Mansfiguur" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Jan de Waardt, created between 1875 and 1900 and housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a man in profile, standing with his right hand in his pocket and wearing a cap, conveying a sense of realism and everyday life through De Waardt's distinctive style. This piece is a testament to De Waardt's ability to capture the essence of human form and expression with simple yet powerful lines. The drawing's subtle shading and use of negative space further contribute to its evocative and engaging aesthetic.
