Studie van een staande vrouw met een korenschoof onder de arm 1807 - 1861

Cornelis Steffelaar’s “Study of a Standing Woman with a Sheaf of Wheat under her Arm” is a graphite drawing created sometime between 1807 and 1861. The drawing depicts a woman, seen from behind, holding a sheaf of wheat under her arm. Steffelaar is known for his detailed studies of figures and his realistic depictions of everyday life. This study is a testament to his skill in capturing the human form and the textures of natural materials. The piece is a small yet impactful example of Dutch Romanticism.
