Man en vrouw bij een hunebed bij Havelte Possibly 1732 - 1737

This pen-and-ink drawing by Abraham de (II) Haen depicts a man and a woman standing next to a hunebed, a type of megalithic tomb found in the Netherlands. Created sometime between 1732 and 1737, the artwork showcases the artist's interest in local history and ancient structures. De Haen, a Dutch painter and draughtsman, was known for his detailed landscapes and depictions of everyday life. The simplicity of the drawing, featuring just a few lines to depict the figures and the hunebed, highlights the monument's ancient and imposing presence. It is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
