Figuren in Volendamse klederdracht en een muts 1875

"Figuren in Volendamse klederdracht en een muts" is a quick sketch by the British artist George Clausen, executed in 1875. The artwork depicts three figures in Volendam costume, their forms barely discernible in the loose, gestural strokes of the pencil. Clausen was known for his use of light and shadow, a technique evident even in this preliminary sketch. While primarily a painter, Clausen frequently employed drawing as a means of capturing the essence of a subject, as seen in this study of traditional Dutch dress.
