Man steunend op een stok en een man met de handen op de rug 1696

This 1696 red chalk drawing by Hendrick van Beaumont depicts two figures in a dynamic pose. The figure on the top is leaning heavily on a staff and taking a large step forward, while the figure below leans back on a stick, holding his hat in his hand. The artist uses gestural lines to capture the movement and energy of the figures, conveying a sense of action and human expression. The work, part of a sketchbook, showcases van Beaumont's skill in capturing human anatomy and movement through expressive drawing.
