"Staande man met kind met hoepel" is a drawing by Pieter de Mare, created between 1777 and 1779. The drawing depicts a man pointing at a child holding a hoop, showcasing de Mare's talent for capturing everyday scenes of 18th-century Dutch life. The quick, loose lines of the drawing, typical of de Mare's style, suggest a spontaneity and immediacy. This small-scale work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies de Mare's skill in capturing human figures in simple yet expressive poses.
