Sprekende figuur op een baar 1802 - 1809

"Sprekende figuur op een baar" (1802-1809) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Daniël (I) Veelwaard, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing depicts a chaotic scene of people jostling and pushing one another, possibly in a marketplace setting. The details of the scene, including the individual expressions of the figures, are captured in a sharp and illustrative style, characteristic of Veelwaard's work. The drawing's small scale, measuring only 198 mm in height and 116 mm in width, adds to its intimate and focused portrayal of everyday life.
