Zittende geestelijke met kromstaf en boek 1780 - 1849

This delicate pencil drawing by David-Pierre Giottino Humbert de Superville, created between 1780 and 1849, depicts a seated figure, likely a cleric. The figure is rendered with great detail, showcasing the artist's mastery of line and form. The cleric holds a book and a crooked staff, symbols of their religious authority. This work, housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the artist's keen observation of human anatomy and a predilection for capturing the subtle nuances of expression.
