Staande man met een pet 1834 - 1903

"Staande man met een pet" is a pencil sketch by Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, a Dutch artist known for his landscapes and cityscapes. The sketch, likely created between 1834 and 1903, depicts a man in a cap, possibly a fisherman or laborer, standing with his arms crossed. Weissenbruch's quick, gestural lines capture the subject's posture and the suggestion of a background, creating a sense of immediacy and intimacy. The sketch's raw and unfinished quality highlights Weissenbruch's ability to capture a moment in time, showcasing his keen observation and talent for capturing the essence of everyday life. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into Weissenbruch's working process and artistic development.
