Man met zijn hoed onder de arm kijkt uit over het water 1831 - 1884

"Man met zijn hoed onder de arm kijkt uit over het water" is a pen and ink drawing by Belgian artist Jules Van Imschoot, created sometime between 1831 and 1884. The artwork depicts a man standing with his hat under his arm, looking out over a body of water. This pen and ink drawing showcases the artist's masterful use of line and detail, capturing a moment of contemplation and solitude in the life of a man. The drawing is reminiscent of the genre of portraiture, despite not depicting the man's face. The minimalist nature of the artwork and the subtle details, such as the man's clothing and the landscape, create a sense of realism. This artwork is a fine example of Van Imschoot's work, showcasing his skill in capturing the nuances of human emotion and the beauty of the natural world.
