Ein Bauer sitzt bei seinem Pferde 

This pen and wash drawing by Thomas Wijck, a prominent Dutch artist of the 17th century, depicts a simple yet evocative scene of a peasant sitting beside his horse. The horse, saddled and bridled, stands patiently as the peasant gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The composition is characterized by a light and airy touch, with the artist’s masterful use of washes creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This drawing is a testament to Wijck's skill in capturing the everyday details of rural life.
