Zittende man 1778 - 1838

"Zittende man" (Seated Man), created between 1778 and 1838, is a drawing by Dutch artist Anthonie van den Bos (1763-1838). The artwork is held in the Rijksmuseum, and depicts a man seated in a simple chair, with his legs crossed and his left arm resting on the back of the chair. The figure is drawn in simple lines, with a focus on capturing the relaxed posture of the seated man. Van den Bos's use of line and shading to create a sense of depth and form creates a minimalist yet expressive piece.
