Engelse politieman en jongen 1858

"Engelse politieman en jongen" (English Policeman and Boy) is a pencil drawing by Gerrit Postma, created in 1858 and currently located in the Rijksmuseum. This sketch features three figures: a policeman, a close-up of a head wearing a cap, and a young boy. The drawings are simple but expressive, captured in a loose, gestural style characteristic of Postma's work. These sketches offer a glimpse into Postma's observation of everyday life, capturing the details of clothing and posture in his unique and evocative way.
