Walging 1675 - 1737

"Walging" (1675-1737) is a drawing by Pieter van den Berge, a Dutch painter known for his skillful depictions of figures. The artwork features a figure in a dynamic pose, seemingly falling or reaching out. The use of watercolor creates soft, translucent washes, highlighting the figure's form and the subtle variations in light. The drawing exemplifies van den Berge's focus on capturing fleeting moments of human action and expression, which are characteristic of his work. The artwork is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artistic practice of a prominent 17th-century Dutch artist.
