Boer met een pijp, naar rechts 1874 - 1925

"Boer met een pijp, naar rechts" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jan Veth, created between 1874 and 1925. This portrait, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man with a beard and a pipe, wearing a hat and a jacket. Veth's drawing is characterized by its sharp, precise lines, capturing the subject's weathered features in detail. The gridded background suggests a methodic approach, highlighting the artist's attention to form and anatomy. This work, a study in realism, provides a glimpse into Veth's skillful rendering of human likeness.
