Man in een blouse met metalen kraag 1822 - 1880

"Man in a Blouse with a Metal Collar" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Reinier Craeyvanger, created sometime between 1822 and 1880. It depicts a man's head and shoulders, viewed from a low angle, with his face obscured and only the back of his head visible. The work is characteristic of Craeyvanger’s quick, expressive sketches and emphasizes the play of light and shadow on the subject’s form. This drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the artist’s practice and the artistic trends of the 19th century.
