Staande man in gedachten verzonken 1811 - 1873

"Staande man in gedachten verzonken" ("Standing Man Lost in Thought") is a drawing by Pieter van Loon, a Dutch artist known for his detailed and often humorous representations of everyday life. This work, created between 1811 and 1873, depicts a man in traditional Dutch clothing, standing with one foot resting on a clog, lost in thought. Van Loon's work often captured the quiet moments and contemplative nature of people, providing insight into the lives of ordinary Dutch citizens. The drawing is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the enduring appeal of van Loon's artistic vision.
