"Lopende man met zweep" (Walking man with a whip) is a drawing by the Dutch artist Willem Albertus Haanebrink, dating from around 1772-1840. The drawing depicts a man walking away from the viewer, his back turned, clad in a long coat and hat. He holds a staff in his right hand, possibly a whip. The background suggests a rural setting, possibly a road leading towards a small village. This simple yet expressive drawing showcases Haanebrink's talent for capturing the everyday life of ordinary people. Haanebrink's work is a great example of 18th-century Dutch realism.
