Lezende man op een stoel met een steek 1822 - 1880

"Lezende man op een stoel met een steek" (Man Reading on a Chair with a Stick), a drawing by Reinier Craeyvanger (1812-1880) depicts a man sitting casually on a chair, his legs outstretched, and reading a book. The drawing is housed at the Rijksmuseum and is a notable example of Craeyvanger's skill at capturing the human form and everyday life through his work. The artist's use of shading creates a sense of depth and realism, making the figure appear almost three-dimensional.
