Visser kijkt teleurgesteld naar zijn vangst 1832 - 1897

"Visser kijkt teleurgesteld naar zijn vangst" (The fisherman looks disappointed at his catch) is a humorous pencil drawing created by Dutch artist Alexander Ver Huell between 1832 and 1897. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a fisherman standing by a river, holding a tiny fish, looking dejected. The scene, rendered with delicate lines and subtle shading, captures the moment of disappointment with a touch of humor. The small size of the fish, in contrast to the fisherman's stature, reinforces the humorous nature of the subject matter. Ver Huell's work often focused on everyday scenes and social commentary, reflecting his keen observation of Dutch society.
