Tekenaar c. 1810 - 1850

"Tekenaar" is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Gerrit Lamberts, created sometime between 1810 and 1850. The artwork depicts a man seated, engrossed in drawing. The artist uses a hatched style, with intricate lines creating dark tones and emphasizing the figure's concentration. The piece is small in size, yet the focused composition and masterful use of lines draw the viewer's attention to the figure's absorbed demeanor. This drawing, currently held in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the creative process of a draftsman in 19th-century Netherlands.
