Fisherman from Marken 1896

"Fisherman from Marken" is a 1896 lithograph by Dutch symbolist artist Jan Toorop. It depicts a seated man in a contemplative pose, dressed in traditional clothing. The work is known for its expressive line work and the atmospheric quality of its rendering. Toorop was a pioneer of Symbolism in the Netherlands, and his works often feature mystical themes and a focus on the human condition. The print itself measures 28.5 × 22.4 cm and is set against a background of a simple interior. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mood, and the subject's solitary pose reinforces the sense of introspection.
