"Staande man" is a pen and ink drawing on paper by Dutch artist Jan de Waardt. Created between 1881 and 1899, this small-scale piece depicts a man standing with his back turned to the viewer, his hands tucked into his coat pockets, and his head bowed. The simplified lines and gestural brushstrokes typical of de Waardt's style are evident in the drawing. Currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, the work exemplifies the artist's focus on capturing the essence of everyday life and the human form.
