Staande man met bakkebaarden 1870

"Staande man met bakkebaarden" (Standing Man with Sideburns) is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Pieter van Loon, dated 1870. The drawing depicts a man in a cap and coat, standing with his hands in his pockets, and features a humorous inscription in Dutch suggesting the man's simian lineage. This small-scale artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a fine example of van Loon's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and detail, adding a touch of lightheartedness to his portraiture.
