Staande man met verrekijkertje 1811 - 1873

"Staande man met verrekijkertje" (Standing man with binoculars) is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Pieter van Loon, created between 1811 and 1873. The drawing, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man in a blue coat and white trousers, looking through a spyglass. Van Loon's work, often characterized by sharp observations of social life, provides a humorous glimpse into the attire and behavior of people during this period. The artwork's small size, measuring 345 mm in height and 232 mm in width, suggests a focus on intimate details and individual expressions.
