"Zittende man wijst naar geketende man" is a lithograph created by French artist Célestin Nanteuil between 1823 and 1873. The print depicts a complex scene with a seated man pointing at a chained man who is looking upwards. A winged figure is also present, perhaps an angel, and a beastly creature, possibly a demon, with its head resting on the ground. The composition conveys a sense of drama and intrigue, leaving the viewer to interpret the narrative behind the scene. The work is a testament to Nanteuil's talent for capturing emotion and complexity through his artistic skill. This lithograph, measuring 358 mm by 278 mm, exemplifies the artist's signature style of detailed and evocative imagery.
