"Man in gebed" is a drawing by Dutch artist Isaac Weissenbruch, created sometime between 1836 and 1912. The artwork features a single figure, a man in profile, with his hands clasped in prayer, looking upwards in contemplation. Weissenbruch is best known for his landscapes and cityscapes, but this drawing demonstrates his skill in capturing the human figure in a moment of quiet devotion. The drawing is currently part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum, and its intimate scale (83mm x 63mm) suggests it may have been a personal study by the artist.
