Man met een pijp (de Reuk) 1659 - 1740

"Man met een pijp (de Reuk)", a black and white drawing by Dutch artist Jan van der Bruggen, depicts a man holding a pipe and laughing. This work, created between 1659 and 1740, is a characteristic example of the artist’s expressive style, with its focus on capturing the nuances of human emotion. The subject's exaggerated features and open-mouthed laughter create a feeling of exuberance and humor, typical of van der Bruggen's genre scenes.
