Knecht bij paard en wagen 1870

"Knecht bij paard en wagen" (Servant with a horse and wagon) is a sepia-toned drawing created in 1870 by the Dutch artist Pieter van Loon. The artwork depicts a man and a boy tending to a horse and wagon. The man is dressed in a loose shirt and trousers, while the boy wears a waistcoat over his shirt. The scene is set against the backdrop of a simple barn, with a pair of cypress trees adding to the rustic charm of the composition. The drawing is characterized by loose lines and muted tones that convey the sense of daily labor and the simple beauty of rural life. "Knecht bij paard en wagen" is a prime example of van Loon's talent for capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people in a visually appealing manner. This drawing is a testament to his keen eye for detail and his ability to convey a sense of realism in his work.
