Eetzaal met figuren 1865 - 1913

This graphite sketch, "Eetzaal met figuren", by Dutch artist Bramine Hubrecht, depicts a scene of figures seated at a table, possibly in a dining room. Created between 1865 and 1913, the work showcases Hubrecht's skill in capturing the essence of a moment through swift, expressive lines. The sketch's loose style and emphasis on form over detail suggests a quick study, possibly made as a preparatory drawing for a more finished work. The composition is unique in its perspective, presenting the figures upside down, creating an intriguing visual puzzle and inviting the viewer to piece together the scene. This work is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
