Ontwerp voor wandschildering in de Beurs van Berlage: staande man met banderol 1869 - 1925

This pencil drawing by Dutch artist Antoon Derkinderen, created between 1869 and 1925, is a design for a mural. The artwork features a standing man holding a large banner, reminiscent of classical Roman or Greek sculpture. The man's figure is drawn with a sense of realism and the folds of his clothing are carefully depicted. The banner drapes elegantly across the top of the composition, suggesting a message or inscription. This design, with its classical references and simple yet powerful image, reflects the artist's artistic sensibility and potential use for a grand public project.
