Man leunend op een stok 1771 - 1802

"Man Leaning on a Stick" is an etching by Dutch artist Jan Izaak van Mansvelt, dating from between 1771 and 1802. The artwork depicts a single figure, likely a peasant or a laborer, leaning against a stick and resting. The figure's posture and the overall composition convey a sense of weariness and fatigue. The use of hatching and cross-hatching in the etching creates a sense of texture and depth, adding to the realism of the work. Van Mansvelt's etching is a compelling example of his skill as a draftsman and his interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people.
