Staande jongen in oosters kostuum c. 1936

This 1936 sketch by Cornelis Vreedenburgh, titled *Staande jongen in oosters kostuum* (Standing boy in Eastern costume), depicts a young figure in a loose-fitting, traditional garment. The artist, known for his expressive line work and atmospheric drawings, uses graphite to capture the boy's pose and the folds of his clothing. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Vreedenburgh's interest in capturing the essence of human form through simple, yet evocative strokes. It serves as a testament to his ability to convey both the physical presence and the cultural context of his subjects through quick and insightful drawings.
