"Gevleugelde man (Vadertje Tijd?) met de vier winden" is a red chalk drawing by Jacob Toorenvliet, circa 1701. The drawing depicts a winged, bearded man, likely Father Time, seated on a rock with a scythe in his hand. He appears to be gazing downwards toward a cherub-like figure below, suggesting the passing of time and its effect on mortality. The drawing is a study for a larger composition, potentially a painting or print. This drawing, in its sketchy and dynamic style, reflects Toorenvliet's interest in human anatomy and the depiction of allegorical figures, common themes in Dutch Baroque art.
