Man met wandelstok leunend tegen een boom 1834 - 1903

This pencil sketch, "Man met wandelstok leunend tegen een boom," was created by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch between 1834 and 1903. It's a simple yet evocative study, likely made outdoors as a quick observation, capturing the figure of a man leaning against a tree. Weissenbruch was known for his atmospheric landscapes, and this sketch showcases his skill in capturing the subtle details of a scene with a few, fluid strokes. The sketch is part of the Rijksmuseum collection, a testament to Weissenbruch's lasting contribution to Dutch art.
