Oude man, zijn handen gevouwen 1790 - 1802

"Oude man, zijn handen gevouwen," a drawing by Dutch artist Jan Chalon, is a small-scale portrait of an elderly man with a thick beard and a fur cap. Created between 1790 and 1802, the work is executed in a delicate, hatched style, highlighting the sitter's age and solemnity. While the artist’s work is lesser-known today, his skill in capturing subtle expressions of human emotion is evident in this intimate portrait.
