Man zittend op steen 1781 - 1822

"Man zittend op steen" (Man Sitting on a Stone) is a drawing by Dutch artist Hermanus Fock, created between 1781 and 1822. The drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man seated on a rock, his head bowed in contemplation. Fock's use of delicate lines and subtle shading brings a sense of realism to the figure, capturing the man's weariness and solitude. This intimate study exemplifies Fock's talent for capturing the nuances of human expression, making it a valuable insight into his artistic style and the Dutch artistic tradition of the late 18th century.
