Staande man met tas van opzij 1640 - 1660

This pen drawing by Dutch artist Willem Drost depicts a man standing in profile. The subject is casually dressed in a hooded coat and a fur-trimmed cap, and holds a bag in his right hand. The artist utilizes a loose and energetic line to capture the man's figure, creating a sense of immediacy and informality. "Staande man met tas van opzij" is a characteristic example of Drost's work and demonstrates his talent for capturing the nuances of human expression.
