Struiken en bomen en een stilleven met een spiegel, boek en stenen 1858

"Struiken en bomen en een stilleven met een spiegel, boek en stenen" is a pencil sketch created in 1858 by Dutch artist Maria Vos. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two separate scenes: a still life arrangement with a pitcher, book and stones, and a landscape featuring bushes and trees. The fragmented composition suggests Vos's artistic process, capturing fleeting moments of observation. The use of graphite allows for subtle tonal variations, emphasizing the texture and form of the objects and natural elements. This work showcases the artistic talent of Vos, who is known for her skill in capturing natural detail and her refined draughtsmanship.
