Zittende man 1766 - 1837

"Zittende man" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan van Noort, created between 1766 and 1837. The artwork depicts a seated man in a simple, almost caricature-like style. His pose is relaxed, with one leg extended and his gaze directed downwards, perhaps suggesting contemplation. The etching's minimal detail and loose lines create a sense of immediacy and informality, characteristic of Noort's artistic style. Van Noort was known for his portrayal of everyday life, and this etching likely captures a common sight in 18th-century Netherlands.
