Man die een ton draagt 1605 - 1678

"Man die een ton draagt" (Man Carrying a Barrel) is a pencil drawing by Flemish artist Paul de Vos, dating from 1605-1678. The drawing depicts a figure carrying a barrel, likely engaged in laborious work. The loose, gestural lines suggest a rapid sketch, possibly a study for a larger composition. De Vos, known for his animal paintings and still lifes, demonstrated a keen eye for detail and a mastery of composition, evident in this preliminary sketch. This drawing offers a glimpse into the artist's creative process, revealing his early explorations of form and movement.
