Monnik gezeten in een stoel 1892

"Monnik gezeten in een stoel" is a black and white etching by Willem Philip van der Veken, completed in 1892. The artwork depicts a monk seated in a chair, his hand resting on his chin, lost in thought. His long white beard and the cross in his hand create a sense of solemnity and religious devotion, typical of van der Veken's later style. The etching is notable for its detailed rendering of both the monk's form and the chair's intricate carvings. The composition conveys a sense of introspection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the monk's silent prayer.
