Klassicistisch tafereel, waarbij een op de grond zittende man geholpen wordt c. 1722 - 1784

"Klassicistisch tafereel, waarbij een op de grond zittende man geholpen wordt" is a small-scale drawing by Simon Fokke, a Dutch artist who lived from 1712 to 1784. This drawing, created between 1722 and 1784, depicts a scene in a classical setting. The image features figures in a landscape with an architectural element, likely a temple or palace. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam. The drawing is a quick sketch, showing the artist's initial thoughts and ideas for a potential larger work. The use of loose, expressive lines suggests a preliminary study, perhaps for a painting or engraving. The artwork captures the dynamism of human movement and the beauty of the classical style.
