"De Krankzinnige" is a 16th-century pen drawing by an anonymous artist. The artwork depicts a scene of a man seemingly holding a woman, with another figure looking down from above. The intricate details and the emotional intensity of the composition suggest a connection to Northern Renaissance art. Located in the Rijksmuseum, the small drawing, measuring 171 mm in height and 94 mm in width, invites viewers to ponder the themes of human suffering, madness, and the fragility of life.
