Zittende man die de krant leest 1865 - 1930

"Zittende man die de krant leest" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jac van Looij, created between 1865 and 1930. The drawing depicts a man sitting in a chair, reading a newspaper. The figure is rendered in a loose, gestural style, with a focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than precise detail. The use of charcoal creates a sense of depth and texture, while the overall composition is both simple and elegant. This artwork is a prime example of van Looij's ability to capture the everyday moments of life through his masterful use of line and shadow.
