Man leest een toespraak van een vel papier before 1953

"Man leest een toespraak van een vel papier" (Man Reads a Speech from a Sheet of Paper) is a black and white illustration with watercolor washes by Dutch artist Hans Borrebach. The image depicts a man standing in front of a group of men while giving a speech. His posture and facial expression convey his seriousness, and he is holding a sheet of paper in his hand. The other men in the scene appear to be listening intently, creating a sense of anticipation. This illustration is an example of Borrebach's distinctive style of combining detailed line work with washes, characteristic of his work in the mid-20th century.
