Portret van een man leunend op een pilaar 1710 - 1772

"Portret van een man leunend op een pilaar" is a charcoal drawing by Petrus Johannes van Reysschoot, created sometime between 1710 and 1772. The drawing depicts a man in a three-quarter view, leaning against a pillar. He is wearing a long coat and has his hand resting on a table. Van Reysschoot's drawing style is characterized by its loose, expressive lines and its focus on capturing the sitter's likeness. The drawing's simplicity and directness suggest that it may have been a study for a larger painting.
