Biddende man 1926

"Biddende man" (Praying Man) is a 1926 etching by Dutch artist Lodewijk Schelfhout. The artwork depicts a man kneeling in prayer, his hands clasped together, in a darkened room. The figure, rendered with expressive, gestural lines, appears lost in a moment of deep devotion. Schelfhout was known for his evocative use of line and shading, and his works often explore themes of faith and spirituality. This piece is a poignant example of his artistic style, showcasing his ability to convey emotion and introspection. It is currently held in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to its artistic merit.
