Man op een aangemeerde schuit aan een kade 1834 - 1903

This pencil sketch, created sometime between 1834 and 1903 by Dutch artist Johan Hendrik Weissenbruch, depicts a man standing on a docked boat at a quay. The drawing, housed at the Rijksmuseum, likely served as a preliminary study for a larger artwork, showcasing Weissenbruch's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of daily life in the Netherlands. The simple yet evocative lines reveal Weissenbruch's masterful use of sketch as a tool for observation and artistic expression.
