"Man in zeventiende-eeuwse kleding" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Cornelis Springer, dating back to the mid-19th century. The simple, gestural lines capture a fleeting moment, likely from a study of historical dress or a historical subject. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum and provides insight into Springer’s artistic process and fascination with historical detail.
