Man met hoed 1893 - 1897

"Man met hoed" is a charcoal drawing by Willem Witsen, created between 1893 and 1897. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in profile, wearing a hat and coat. The subject is rendered in a loose, expressive style, with strong emphasis on the lines of the figure and the texture of the clothing. This drawing is characteristic of Witsen's focus on the working class and the everyday lives of ordinary people, a theme that dominated his art.
