"Staande man in overjas" (Standing Man in an Overcoat), is a pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema between 1878 and 1917. The drawing depicts a man standing in profile, clad in a formal suit and overcoat. The artist captures the subject in a simple, yet expressive style, using shading and lines to convey depth and form. This work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into van Hoytema's artistic style, which often focused on realistic portrayals of everyday individuals.
