"Sitting Farmer" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Klaes Molenaer, known for his genre paintings of everyday life. The drawing depicts a seated farmer with a relaxed pose, suggesting a moment of rest from his labor. The loose and expressive lines of the drawing capture the farmer's features and clothing with great detail. This work is a testament to Molenaer's skill in capturing the human form and is a beautiful example of 17th-century Dutch drawing.
