Seated Man with a Pitcher and a Glass 1756 - 1810

"Seated Man with a Pitcher and a Glass" is a drawing by Jean Jacques de Boissieu, a French artist, created between 1756 and 1810. This artwork, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, depicts a man seated and pouring a drink from a pitcher into a glass. The simple composition and the man's contemplative pose evoke a sense of quiet contemplation and everyday life. This drawing is a testament to Boissieu's mastery of line and his ability to capture the essence of his subject with a minimalist aesthetic.
