"Studie" (c. 1894) by Julie de Graag, housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a study in graphite on paper. The faint outlines of a figure are visible, suggesting a preliminary sketch for a larger work. De Graag, a Dutch artist known for her portraits and landscapes, often utilized studies to refine her compositions and explore different approaches to depicting the human form. This artwork offers a glimpse into her artistic process and showcases the artist's skillful use of line and form.
