"An Old Man Leaning Against a Table" is a captivating painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Pietersz. Bega. Born in 1631, Bega was a prominent figure in the Haarlem school of painting, known for his genre scenes that often depicted the everyday lives of common people with a remarkable sense of realism and detail. This particular work exemplifies Bega's skill in capturing the subtleties of human expression and the textures of the material world.

The painting portrays an elderly man, his posture slightly hunched as he leans against a table. The man's attire is simple, reflecting the modesty of his social standing, and his face is marked by the lines and wear of age, suggesting a life of labor and experience. Bega's use of chiaroscuro—the contrast between light and dark—adds a dramatic intensity to the scene, highlighting the man's features and the folds of his clothing while casting the background into shadow. This technique not only brings a three-dimensional quality to the figure but also imbues the painting with a sense of intimacy and immediacy.

Bega's attention to detail is evident in the textures he renders, from the roughness of the man's skin to the grain of the wooden table. The composition is carefully balanced, with the figure of the old man dominating the foreground, drawing the viewer's eye directly to his contemplative expression. The background, though less detailed, provides a context that enhances the narrative quality of the scene.

"An Old Man Leaning Against a Table" is a testament to Bega's ability to convey the dignity and quiet strength of his subjects. Through his meticulous technique and empathetic portrayal, Bega invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the universal human experience. This painting not only showcases Bega's technical prowess but also his deep understanding of the human condition, making it a significant work within the oeuvre of Dutch Golden Age painting.
