Staand meisje en andere studies 1854 - 1910

Willem Maris' "Staand meisje en andere studies" is a pencil drawing showcasing the artist's preliminary sketches, including a standing girl in the centre. The loose and gestural lines capture the movement of the figures and the overall composition, revealing the artist's process of observation and exploration. This piece, created between 1854 and 1910, exemplifies Maris's characteristic style of depicting everyday subjects with a subtle and sensitive approach. The drawing's small scale and fragmented composition hint at its function as a private study, showcasing Maris's attention to detail and naturalism.
