Seated Man Lights His Pipe from a Chafing Dish
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite 19th-century watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Wouter Mol (1795-1857). This full-length portrait depicts a well-dressed man in a tricorn hat, seated at a table adorned with a chafing dish and various crockery. The man, with an air of refinement, leans forward to light his pipe from the warm dish, while his overcoat and dress coat are draped elegantly over the back of his chair. The intricate details of the man's clothing, from the richly textured fabric of his coat to the delicate folds of his shirt and waistcoat, are rendered with remarkable precision using chalk and watercolor paint. The artist's skillful use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to the scene, making it come alive. This drawing is a testament to the fashion trends of the time in the Netherlands and Europe, with the man's tricorn hat and blue clothing being popular choices for men during the 19th century. The inclusion of a chafing dish and tobacco pipe further emphasizes the leisurely and luxurious lifestyle of the subject. The drawing is a valuable addition to the rich artistic heritage of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insight into the daily life and fashion of the 19th century. Mol's masterful use of watercolor and chalk on paper captures the essence of a bygone era, making it a must-see for art and history enthusiasts alike.
