"Ontwerp voor wandschildering in de Beurs van Berlage: zittende vioolspeler en Mercurius" is a pencil drawing by Antoon Derkinderen, dated 1869-1925. The drawing depicts two figures, a seated violinist and the Roman god Mercury, who is seated on a pedestal. The presence of the Caduceus, a symbol associated with Mercury, confirms the identity of the second figure. The drawing was a design for a mural to be placed in the Beurs van Berlage, a historic stock exchange building in Amsterdam. The artist's use of simple lines and shading creates a sense of depth and realism. This sketch provides insight into Derkinderen's artistic style and the design process of the mural.
