"Zieke man" (Sick Man) is a satirical lithograph by Dutch artist Carel Christiaan Antony Last, created between 1836 and 1876. The work depicts a seated man, likely meant to be a caricature of a prominent individual of the time, with a broken leg surrounded by vignettes of various social situations. The lively depiction of these scenes, with their humorous details, is characteristic of Last's work and exemplifies the social commentary and humor of his era. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
