Ontwerp voor wandschildering in de Beurs van Berlage: oude man met baard en staf, staande naar rechts 1869 - 1925

This pencil sketch, created by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen between 1869 and 1925, depicts an elderly man with a beard and staff, standing to the right. The drawing is likely a design for a mural in the Beurs van Berlage, a prominent stock exchange building in Amsterdam. Derkinderen, a prominent figure in the Dutch Arts and Crafts movement, is known for his architectural designs and decorative works, often employing traditional techniques and motifs. The sketch, with its delicate lines and minimalist style, provides a glimpse into Derkinderen's artistic process and his vision for the grand scale of the Beurs van Berlage.
