Man met hoed en wandelstok, zittend op een steen 1840

"Man met hoed en wandelstok, zittend op een steen" is a pencil and watercolor drawing by Johannes Tavenraat, dating back to 1840, and currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a man sitting on a rock with a dog at his feet, while a second man is standing behind him. The drawing is characterized by its loose and gestural lines, and the artist's use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume and depth. Tavenraat's sketches were often made in preparation for larger, more finished paintings, and this particular piece is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human figure and its environment.
