Stehender Mann auf einen Stuhl gestützt 

Cornelis Visscher created "Standing Man Leaning on a Chair" with pen in gray in the 17th century. The figure's posture is marked by a gentle contrapposto, creating a sense of relaxed elegance. Visscher employs line work to model the figure, using hatching and cross-hatching to define the contours of the man’s body and clothing. This technique gives the drawing a textured surface. Observe how the light falls across the figure, enhancing the folds of his garment, and the delicate rendering of his facial features. This detailed approach not only demonstrates the artist's technical skill, but also invites contemplation on the interplay between representation and the material qualities of the drawing itself. Line and form merge to create a space for reflection on the nature of depiction and perception.
