Drie staande mannen 1811 - 1873

"Drie staande mannen" (Three Standing Men) is a 19th-century drawing by Pieter van Loon, housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork, a quick sketch executed in brown wash, depicts three men in a casual pose, possibly from a street scene. The loose lines and minimal detail characteristic of van Loon's style suggest a focus on capturing the spontaneity of everyday life. This drawing is a prime example of van Loon's talent for portraying the essence of human interaction through quick, expressive sketches.
